N2 - Forgetting is frequently associated with frustration in everyday life. However, forgetting does not have exclusively negative consequences, and I suggest that it serves at least three constructive functions. First, forgetting is part of emotion regulation, and facilitates subjective well-being by limiting access to negative memories and by reducing unpleasant emotion. Second, it is involved in knowledge acquisition, and provides a basis for obtaining semantic and procedural knowledge, when false, irrelevant or redundant information is discarded. Third, forgetting is part of context attunement, and orients information-processing for the now and the next by limiting access to distant or obsolete memories. Overall, I suggest that forgetting helps people to be happy, well-organized, and context sensitive, and thereby serves fundamentally adaptive functions.
