One day Oliver was sitting with his friend as they were discussing how long they have been friends. As they counted back, Oliver said, "Oh, I remember. We met in the third grade at recess time." As he and his friend reminisced, Oliver came to the conclusion that because he hadn't thought about the third grade in so many years, he could not remember who their teacher was. In fact, he could not remember anything about his teacher. What is Oliver likely experiencing?

Answer:memory decay

Explanation:which causes you to forget those things that your mind may categorize as not important or it may occur as you grow up that some memories are lost on the way as you accumulate new memories on the way to adulthood.

As the person grows up the mind eventually remove some memories to open a way for some new memories as it can be seen that Oliver was still young back then and also it is easy to forget things one don't talk much about.
