Which of the following is not a cause of forgetting ?

  • A.Interference
  • B.Decay
  • C.Selective attention
  • D.Retrieval inhibition

Answer: C

The item that is not a cause of forgetting is selective attention.

Interference between memories, decay of the memory trace over time and failure of retrieval through inhibition are all given as causes of forgetting. Selective attention is the process of filtering what is taken in, and it determines what gets encoded but is not by itself a reason that stored material is lost.
