چکیده
[email protected] Abstract: The paper reviews a number of concepts and mature theories in the psychological literature on memory and forgetting. Six theories of forgetting are outlined. Issues are reviewed concerning the correspondence between concepts in psychology and knowledge management and engineering. Of the six theories, the motivated forgetting theory and the displacement theory are rejected as having little interest for AKT. Four remaining theories, the Gestalt theory, the decay theory, the interference theory and the retrieval failure theory are discussed, and associated with possible types of knowledge that could be the subject of forgetting. Finally, a number of global issues that have been raised implicitly in the course of this review are sketched.
