  1. Trace Decay Various theorists assumed that there is a memory trace for all encoded information. This trace decays with time. If the trace falls below a certain threshold value, the information is forgotten. According to this theory, forgetting depends crucially on retention interval (Ebbinghaus, 1885), and not so much on interference. Contributor © POSbase 2003
