Our expectations of commonly experienced social events can also distort our recall by ‘filling in gaps’ with what we expect to happen. Bower et al. (1979), for instance, showed that subjects would falsely recall events which were consistent with a particular ‘script’ (the process of going to a restaurant), but which were not included in the learned sequence. School learning should therefore monitor recall and compare this with the original material when necessary. Teachers need to be aware of this potential for distortion of learned information; when carrying out revision programmes they should encourage pupils to check back on key points in the original material.

If we understand how forgetting occurs, we may be able to devise techniques to prevent it and to optimise learning and memory.
