As we all know, our brain is a brilliant magician. It allows us to do amazing things like learn multiple languages and solve complex mathematical problems. But very same wizard, at times, deceives us by forgetting things.
Why do we forget things? Scientists suggest many theories behind this strange behavior by our brain. Most prominent among them is decay theory which states that our memory slowly disappears with the passage of time.
Another theory is interference. This means that when we get some information similar to information already stored in our memory, it is likely that we forget the new information. Strange but true!
