7 memory flaws

The seven sins of memory. Transience - Forgetting that occurs with the passage of time.
Absentmindedness-forgetting probably caused by lack of attention or divided attention and preoccupation.
Blocking-unable to recall a bit of information that we know we know.
Misattribution - errors in recall- we remember events that never happened attribute features of an event itself to a different time or place and remember events but find me happen to someone else. Suggestibility- a tendency to incorporate misleading information from external sources into personal reflections.
Bias -tendency to be influenced by factors such as consistency change present role of the self generic stereotype. Persistence-tendency to remember those things you would rather forget.
