उत्तर
| Team A | We think it is a result of carelessness. If we really attach great importance to details, we will never forget them. |
| Team B | Perhaps, things you are interested in, you don’t tend to forget. |
| Team C | We think forgetting is mostly by the preoccupation with something. The brain can do, multi-tasking but not always. If your mind is focused on a serious problem and ways of solving it, the brain shuts down all other memory files for a while. It is purely a temporary issue. |
| Team A&B | Yes, we agree; with a team C. |
