Solution

The best explanation for Mel's difficulty remembering the difference between the two words is D. failure to store in long-term memory. This is because while the teacher was explaining the difference, Mel was distracted and planning her outfit for the upcoming dance. Therefore, the information about the difference between "although" and "while" was likely not properly encoded into her long-term memory for later retrieval.

Which theory of forgetting is correctly matched with its description? Decay-Information is lost over time as a result of non-use. Interference- Forgetting occurs when there are too few "triggers" to recall the information.  Cue-dependent- Forgetting occurs because other information in memory disrupts the retrieval of the information we are trying to remember.  Retroactive interference- Information learned earlier disrupts the recall of newer material.
