'7 sins of memory': transience- short time memory, forgetting quickly. Absent-mindedness- people can't always remember or recall all the things they do through the day (ex. meeting someone and forgetting their name later on.) Blocking- can't remember things properly or not at all but the person has an idea that it's there. Blocking occurs from minutes to days. Misattribution- people mix up in remembering things or events from one source to another (a thing or person they see in a dream/television that is carried out to reality when they talk). Suggestibility- false memory suggested by other people, changing a person's beliefs. Bias- can't see things/people the way they are but according to you or other people; thinking all the good actions are ours and the bad ones are from others' fault. Persistence means that we can't get rid of a particular memory because it's always on our mind. Persistence can mean an important memory or a bad one. People can get depress thinking about the past that should not have happened. Sometimes people live on by holding on what's in the past instead of embracing new things. "Super Memo," a program used to learn languages. People will remember better when they have several reminders for them.
Sometimes it helps to group things separately instead of trying to learn them at once, as Ebbinghaus showed.

Proactive interference: old info overlapping new info. Example: me learning new language sometimes I use words from my other language into context. When I start playing a new game then come back to the old one I forget its key configs, thinking they're the same as the old one's but they're not.

Retroactive interference: new info overlaps old info: after learning English, I kinda forgot some of my root language.
