Psychologs on Instagram: "Forgetting isn’t a failure of intelligence; it’s a natural psychological process. Ebbinghaus’ Curve of Forgetting shows that memory loss happens rapidly right after learning, but slows down over time. Without revision or emotional relevance, memory traces weaken, making recall difficult, even though the information may still be stored.

From natural decay to repression of painful experiences, psychology reveals that forgetting serves both cognitive and protective functions. #Psychology #Memory #ForgettingCurve #Ebbinghaus #CognitivePsychology #BrainScience #LearningPsychology #StudyTips #Neuroscience #MentalProcesses"
