CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -There are five popular theories of forgetting in psychology. They are trace decay theory, retrieval failure theory, interference theory, consolidation theory, and displacement theory.

Detailed explanation-2: -Forgetfulness can arise from stress, depression, lack of sleep or thyroid problems. Other causes include side effects from certain medicines, an unhealthy diet or not having enough fluids in your body (dehydration). Taking care of these underlying causes may help resolve your memory problems.

Detailed explanation-3: -Trace decay theory states that forgetting occurs as a result of the automatic decay or fading of the memory trace. Trace decay theory focuses on time and the limited duration of short term memory. This theory suggests short term memory can only hold information for between 15 and 30 seconds unless it is rehearsed.
