Sins of memory: Omission involves forgetting
- Transience. This sin involves forgetting over time. Studies found that nearly 50% of participants had significant errors in their memory of the O.J. Simpson trial verdict after three years.
- Absent-mindedness. We have lapses of attention. We forget where we left an object or what we were planning to do.
- Blocking. We experience the tip-of-the-tongue syndrome. This happens when the brain tries to retrieve information, but another memory interferes.
