Neuroscientists successfully test theory that forgetting is actually a form of learning

Neuroscientists report the first results from experimental tests designed to explore the idea that 'forgetting' might not be a bad thing, and that it may represent a form of learning -- and outline results that support their core idea. Seemingly lost memories can be retrieved and updated by environmental cues, which means this research has implications for a range of diseases such as Alzheimer's.
