Loss of information refers to the inability to retain or recall previously learned material. It means that something once remembered is no longer accessible in memory.
This term describes when new learning disrupts the recall of old information.
Cue-dependent Forgetting: Cue-dependent forgetting occurs when there are insufficient retrieval cues available during recall, making it difficult to access stored information.
Contextual Memory Effects: These effects refer to how memory retrieval can be enhanced by recreating similar contexts or environments present during initial encoding.
