Why do we humans forget things?

Thought Piece / Behaviour / #forgetful #setreminder

Wayne Carter

Ever wondered why we humans are so good at forgetting things? Well, most humans anyway!

There are a number of reasons such as

  • We focus on understanding the world, not remembering it.
  • Forgetting helps us live with the pains and traumas of life.
  • Memory is designed to be selective.
  • Forgetting has practical benefits and actually enhances some recall.
  • We tend to forget memories that are similar to one another—remembering instead more novel events or information.
  • Forgetting is important because it makes it easier to recall new memories.

If these reasons are ingrained in your psyche, it's no wonder that you struggle to remember when your car's MOT is due, when to renew your house insurance, and various other important dates.
