title: Very rapid forgetting
creator: Muter, Paul
subject: Cognitive Psychology
subject: Cognitive Psychology
description: Human forgetting can be much more rapid than previous experiments have indicated. Subjects who do not expect a test after a filled retention interval can rarely recall three consonants correctly after 2 sec of distraction. If there are two kinds of memory, primary and secondary, the present technique provides a purer method of studying forgetting from primary memory.
