Memory for Goals Model

According to the model, interruption disrupts the activation of the goal representation in memory, making it more difficult for individuals to retrieve and reinstate the task once the interruption is resolved. The interruption essentially weakens the association between the task and its context, leading to an increased likelihood of forgetting to resume the primary task or performing an incorrect task. For example, when a person forms a goal or intention, it is initially stored in memory with a certain level of activation. This activation level determines the salience and accessibility of the goal representation. However, over time, the activation of the goal representation gradually decays, resulting in a decrease in its strength and accessibility. The decay of goal representation in memory can lead to various consequences. One of the main implications is that as the strength of the goal representation decreases, individuals may become more susceptible to interference from other competing goals or distractions. This can result in a reduced ability to maintain focus and effectively pursue the original goal. Altmann et al. (2002) model suggests that the decay of goal representation is influenced by several factors, including the passage of time, the occurrence of intervening events or activities, and cognitive load. The more time that elapses or the more distractions that occur, the greater the decay of the goal representation. It is important to note that the model does not propose a fixed decay rate for all goals or individuals. The rate of decay can vary depending on individual differences, task characteristics, and environmental factors. Additionally, the model acknowledges that external cues and reminders can help mitigate the decay of goal representation by providing retrieval cues and reinforcing the activation of the goal in memory.
