Relearning
About half of the dates within the first 10 minutes of learning.
About half of the dates within the first hour of learning.
Slowly at first, with a gradual increase as time passed.
At a slow, steady rate.
Retrieval failure.
Lack of rehearsal.
Retroactive interference.
Proactive interference.
Psychology factors; decay factors
Material lost from memory; material that can be retrieved from memory
Unconsciously blocking a memory from entering conscious awareness; consciously blocking a memory from entering conscious awareness
Consciously blocking a memory from entering conscious awareness; unconsciously blocking a memory from entering conscious awareness
We are in the same psychological state as the one we were in when we learned the information.
We fail to use the correct cue to locate and recover information.
Old information interferes with our ability to recall new information.
The memory trace is ineffective.
A memory has not been formed.
A memory trace fades over time through disuse.
Brain damage has occurred.
Inappropriate retrieval cues are used.
The slower the rate of forgetting over time.
The more likely a forgetting curve will be evident.
The faster the rate of forgetting over time.
The more likely forgetting will barely be noticeable.

Proactive interference.
Partial retrieval failure.
Retroactive interference.
Partial decay of the memory trace.
