Passage Two
Most episodes of absent-mindedness forgetting where you left something or wondering why you just entered a room are caused by a simple lack of attention, says Schacter. You re supposed to remember something, but you haven t encoded it deeply.
Encoding, Schacter explains, is a special way of paying attention to an event that has a major impact on recalling it later. Failure to encode properly can create annoying situations. If you put your mobile phone in a pocket, for example, and don t pay attention to what you did because you re involved in a conversation, you ll probably forget that the phone is in the jacket now hanging in you wardrobe . Your memory itself isn t failing you, says Schacter. Rather, you didn t give your memory system the information it needed.
Lack of interest can also lead to absent-mindedness. A man who can recite sports statistics from 30 years ago, says Zelinski, may not remember to drop a letter in the mailbox. Women have slightly better memories than men, possibly because they pay more attention to their environment, and memory relies on just that.
