If an average psychologist should be asked to explain how it happens that we often fail to recall a name which we are sure we know, he would probably content himself with the answer that proper names are more apt to be forgotten than any other content of memory. He might give plausible reasons for this ‘forgetting preference’ for proper names, but he would not assume any deep determinant for the process.”
