6. Remembering and Forgetting

Remembering involves the processes of encoding, storing, and retrieving information, while forgetting occurs due to various factors such as interference and retrieval failure. Attention and rehearsal are crucial for effective memory function, and several theories explain the dynamics of forgetting. Memory enhancement techniques include chunking, mnemonics, and spacing practices, while the chapter also addresses memory disorders like amnesia and Alzheimer's disease.
