Unrehearsed information decays exponentially, losing approximately 42% within 20 minutes and ~67% within 24 hours; this decay rate is a fixed property of human memory architecture.
Memory reconstructs rather than faithfully stores prior beliefs, systematically shifting them toward alignment with known outcomes (hindsight bias), making genuine learning from unrecorded predictions impossible and requiring external calibration systems to align subjective confidence with objective accuracy.
Memory encoding depth, determined by the degree of elaborative processing and integration with existing knowledge structures, directly determines long-term retention and retrievability.
