Why study memory?

Without memory, how would we be able to learn anything? The ability to learn is the key to our very survival,

and we cannot learn unless we can remember what happened the last time a particular situation arose. Why study

forgetting? If we can learn about the ways in which we forget information, we can apply that learning so that unin-

tended forgetting occurs less frequently.
