One theory of forgetting is the decay theory, which suggests that memories fade or weaken over time if they are not accessed or reinforced. According to interference theory, forgetting occurs when new information interferes with the ability to recall old information, disrupting the memory storage process. Another theory is the cue-dependent forgetting, which proposes that forgetting is related to the inability to access information because the proper cues or reminders are not available. I find cue-dependent forgetting to be the most interesting theory of the three because it highlights the importance of context and environmental factors in memory storage and retrieval processes. This theory suggests that memory is not about simply storing information, but also about creating associations and connections between different elements to facilitate retrieval.
