A weekly programme about work in the world of science
Experiments on Forgetting by R. Conrad, Ph.D. of the Medical Research Council.
Unit of Applied Psychology, Cambridge

Over the years there have been any number of theories to explain why we forget things, but none has stood up to rigorous laboratory investigation. Now, however, some recent experiments have begun to change the picture and have revealed new facts about the human mind. These experiments and what they have revealed are the subject of Dr. Conrad's talk.
