forgetting and amnesia
Forgetting refers to the failure or inability to retain or retrieve information previously learned or experienced. It involves the loss or fading of memories over time, which can occur due to various factors such as interference, lack of rehearsal, or decay. Amnesia, on the other hand, is a specific type of forgetting that results in a more severe and profound memory impairment. It is characterized by the partial or complete inability to recall past events or form new memories. Amnesia can be caused by physical damage or trauma to the brain, certain medical conditions, or psychological factors.
