Why humans forgot things?

Dear student,

There are mainly four reasons for forgetting things :
1.Storage failure- this occurs when information does not enter long-term memory.
2.Interference- this occurs mainly when there are two similar things in memory, and brain is not able to recall the details.
3.Retrieval failure- when a memory is not recalled over time, it vanishes from memory and thus the brain finds it difficult to relocate the memory.
4.Motivated forgetting- This occurs when the individual does not recalls certain memories(consiously or subconsiously) because they are traumatic.

Regards.
