Forgetting occurs most rapidly initially, then gradually levels off- Decay theory of forgetting proposes that
Show answer
Memories fade over time due to disuse or neural decay- Interference theory explains forgetting as
Show answer
New or old information interfering with the retrieval of other memories- Retroactive interference occurs when
Show answer
