Assignment-
All of us tend to forget things. We go to the grocery store and forget what items we intended to buy. We walk into a room and forget why we went there. We forget whose face is on the $10 bill. These are just three examples of the different types of forgetting we do.
Then, write 2-3 pages in which you describe two or more examples of forgetting that you have experienced. Analyze each situation to identify what type of memory was involved: sensory, short-term, or long-term. Explain what mechanism was at work when you forgot. For example, was the forgetfulness caused by encoding failure, decay, disuse, memory cues, interference, or something else?
