Encoding+Failure

toc = Definition: = A cause of forgetting that occurs when information was never put into long-term memory. Gen Psych Chapter 6, p. 183 Related to: Forgetting

= Examples: = When you can't remember the definition for a word on a test because you didn't pay attention in class and never learned it, this is encoding failure.

= Analogies: = Encoding failure is to forgetting as never learning something is to not knowing the answer to the question about what you never learned.

= Mnemonics: = Encoding failure..think of how if you never learn the material for a class, you will probably fail the class.
