Rohan is a stage actor who recently learned lines for a classical Shakespearean play (Macbeth) while simultaneously rehearsing for a contemporary play set in the same era with similar blank verse. During the opening night on a massive, brightly lit stage in front of a live audience (which is very different from the dark, intimate rehearsal studio), he found himself repeatedly blanking on his lines or mixing up the dialogue between the two plays.
Outline one explanation of forgetting. How might this explanation account for Rohan's poor performance during the opening night?
