Retrieval Failure can occur for at least four reasons. Interference Theory which states that we forget not because memories are lost from storage but because other information gets in the way of what we want to remember. Decay Theory states that when something new is learned, a neurochemical memory trace is formed, but over time this chemical trail tends to disintegrate; the term for the phenomenon of memories fading with the passage of time is transience. Motivated forgetting, which occurs when people want to forget something is common when a memory becomes painful or anxiety laden, as in the case of emotional traumas such as rape and physical abuse. Amnesia the physiologically based loss of memory; can be anterograde, affecting the retention of new information or events; retrograde, affecting memories of the past but not new events; or both.

What are the three theories of forgetting?
The three theories of forgetting are trace decay theory, interference theory, and retrieval failure theory. Trace decay theory suggests that memories fade with time if they are not accessed or reinforced. Interference theory posits that forgetting occurs when new information disrupts the retrieval of older memories. Retrieval failure theory proposes that forgetting happens when there are issues with accessing or retrieving memories stored in long-term memory.

What is the meaning of scientific failure?
When an experiment contradicts the outcome predicted by a theory, the theory is said to be a failure. The experiment itself, if poorly designed or conducted, may not achieve a result to distinguish between expected outcomes, in which case the experiment would be a failure. Even negative results in science have meaning. Failure generally leads to greater insight than does success, as flaws is theory reveal the need for improved theories.
