Answer to Problem 1E

Correct answer: If, after learning the history of the Middle East for a class 2 years ago, you now find yourself unable to recall what you learned, you are experiencing memory decay, caused by nonuse.

Explanation of Solution

Decay is the process of loss of information in memory through nonuse. Anything learned long time before is harder to remember because of its nonuse. This type of forgetting information is caused by the physical changes that take place in the brain when new material is learned or new information is stored. Thus, the unused memory traces simply fade away or disintegrate over time.
