The 7 sins of memory:
Forgetting:
transience ( 稍纵即逝）
forgetting that occurs with the passage of time.
Rapid forgetting happens in the sensory and short-term memory stage
Happen for long-term memory
Learned material that is not attended over tune its subjects to transience (i.e.
forgotten)
Most information that is forgotten, is forgotten quickly.
-cramming may help you do well on a test if taken immediately, but most of that
information is quickly forgotten.
Absentmindedness: （⼼不在焉）
