The effects of delay on objective memory and on the subjective experience of forgetting.

ABSTRACT: Recent years have seen a revived interest in the study of delay-dependent forgetting, with compelling evidence that episodic memories associated with contextual information are susceptible to delay-dependent forgetting. In addition, studies have shown that while the accessibility of memories associated with contextual information declines over time, there is little or no change in the memories' precision and quality. Building on these findings, the current study focuses on a fundamental question regarding memories associated with contextual information, which has received scant attention: What is the subjective experience accompanying forgetting of such memories?
