Cover Story: For over a century, memory research has shown that the process of forgetting is initially rapid and becomes more gradual, following an exponential curve. We demonstrate that these empirical forgetting curves do not capture true rates of forgetting. While partially shaped by forgetting, forgetting rates are also influenced by the distribution of memory strengths relative to a recall threshold. We propose a distribution model of memory that explains this divergence between empirical forgetting curves and actual forgetting rates. This model has implications for education, indicating that the creation of memories barely above a recall threshold aids in short-term tests but does not lead to the formation of enduring memories. View this paper
