forgetting rate

He further hypothesized that the basal forgetting rate differs little between individuals.

On the other hand, after PTA, forgetting rates were normal.

"The forgetting rate was much faster than had been expected," said Dr. Brewer.

In the case of forgetting rates, those experiments have shown that, over time, verbatim traces become inaccessible at a faster rate than gist traces.

A Fast 'Forgetting Rate' Not surprisingly, people's memories are better for the out-of-the-ordinary, special moments of their lives than for the mundane, according to new data on which events survive best in memory.

However, several experiments showing, for example, differential forgetting rates between memory for the surface details and memory for the bottom-line meaning of past events favor the notion of dissociated retrieval of verbatim and gist traces.
