Why Do We Forget? Why we forget things? Why we forget something which is recently learned | TCS - The CBSE Solver
Have you seen the movie Limitless I don't know, I forget if
you probably remember the main character who found a special pill that allowed
him to recall all experience and knowledge and use it. Whenever he needed to if
only this were true we learn things throughout our entire lives but we don't
know everything because, we forget a lot of information why does this happen
how could we remember things much better, well TheCBSESolver will tell you about why we forget something which is recently learnt.
Why we forget things?
For starters let's
talk about why we forget things your brain is like a hard drive. In which the
space is limited and irrelevant information in memory, brain deliberately erase
them. This is what your brain does it protects you from overloadin
g with
information that's why all new data is stored in the short-term memory not the
long one.So if you don't repeat
it or use it you forget it very quickly.
A German psychologist Hermann Ebbinghaus researched the memory and its mechanisms he described the forgetting curve which shows that just one hour after learning something new we forget more than half of the learned information. I'm sorry what was that anyway one day later we remember only about 30%.
So how to remember everything there is a memorization
technique called spaced repetition. To keep some information in your
head for a longer time you need to try to put it into your long-term memory. Forced
memorization is not very effective in this case because your brain can't make
sense of the information quickly and form strong associations. Here it all
depends on the reason why you are learning something.
