OP: If you’d just met the person or hasn’t really had any contact, then it’s not on purpose. It all has to do with memory; the main way we consolidate STM into LTM is through associating it with meaning -no contact equals no meaning. Therefore, it’ll be hard for people to remember the names of others who they really haven’t had any meaningful relationship with (aka just met).

I pretty much skip the last three/four pages, so I apologize if I’m repeating anything anyone had previously said.

STM-Short term memory LTM - Long term memory
