Abstract in brief

  • Traditional theories of forgetting focus on cue overload and interference in laboratory settings, often using paradigms like the AB-AC list learning task.
  • Recent research suggests that daily forgetting is caused more by interference from ongoing mental activity rather than cue overload, especially affecting new memories that haven't yet consolidated.
  • Activities like sleep, alcohol, and benzodiazepines can enhance memory by supporting the consolidation process and protecting recent memories from interference, which aligns with studies on hippocampal long-term potentiation.
