Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Major causes of forgetting include:

Mental conflict: Emotional interference or repression of memories.

Defective methods of remembering: Using rote learning instead of meaningful association.

Conversely, the desire to remember enhances encoding and retention, which aids memory rather than causing forgetting.
