Proposed the borrowing theory: that is, people will use old knowledge as support and reference when learning new knowledge

Emphasizes the process of memory access and memory effects

Proposed different types of forgetting: accessible forgetting and returnable forgetting

Emphasis on the relationship between memory and perception

Brain imaging technology reveals the neural mechanisms of forgetting and the plasticity of memory

Uncovering the process of memory consolidation and reshaping

Analyzed the causes and mechanisms of forgetting from a cognitive perspective

Factors such as interference effects of forgetting and retrieval difficulties were studied
