Aaron is preparing for his upcoming final exams. He does all of his revision in a cold, quiet basement laboratory while drinking strong espresso. On the day of his actual exam, which takes place in a warm, noisy sports hall and where he is not allowed to drink espresso, he finds himself unable to recall the information he studied. However, when he returns to the cold, quiet basement laboratory later that evening to unpack his things, he suddenly remembers all the facts again.
Discuss retrieval failure as an explanation for forgetting. Refer to Aaron's experience in your answer.
