Detailed explanation-1: -To not think about, fail to remember, or disregard someone or something. Don’t forget about us after you’ve become a big shot out in LA! This traffic jam is awful! I forgot about the work they were doing to the road.
Detailed explanation-2: -Forget about is used for properties of an item mostly, or an action with an item. Forget is to completely remove the item from “context". For example, “I forgot my keys.": Person forgot their keys, as in it was left somewhere, and the person doesn’t have it.
Detailed explanation-3: -"Memories are stored in ensembles of neurons called ‘engram cells’ and successful recall of these memories involves the reactivation of these ensembles. The logical extension of this is that forgetting occurs when engram cells cannot be reactivated.
