Answer to Question 1

1 . Transience: Memory fades quickly.
2 . Absent-mindedness: People forget that to which they do not attend.
3 . Blocking: People sometimes have something that they know they should remember, but they can't. It's as though the information is on the tip of their tongue, but they cannot retrieve it.
4 . Misattribution: People often cannot remember where they heard what they heard or read what they read. Sometimes people think they saw things they did not see or heard things they did not hear.
5 . Suggestibility: People are susceptible to suggestion, so if it is suggested to them that they saw something, they may think they remember seeing it.
6 . Bias: People often are biased in their recall.
7 . Persistence: People sometimes remember things as consequential that, in a broad context, are inconsequential.

Answer to Question 2

Autobiographical memory refers to memory of an individual's history.
