Change blindness vs Inattentional Blindness with case studies
Two processes involved in loss of information from memory
- Incidental factors
- Motivated factors
Incidental factors:
Processes that occur without direct intention to forget
Not in our direct control (decay, interference, retrieval –
induced
forgetting etc)
Motivated factors:
Linked to processes that occur with the direct intention to
forget
(suppression, repression etc)
There is some sort of ‘motivation’ for forgetting (conscious
directed
process) intentional forgetting
Motivated forgetting – not accidental BUT not consciously
aware
WHY do we forget?
Nietzsche (1844 – 1900)
The idea of forgetting has never been proved – only know that

Underwood (1966) – Says forgetting is an exasperating &
painful phenomenon
