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.
