Memory erasure has been shown to be possible in some experimental conditions; some of the techniques currently being investigated are: drug-induced amnesia, selective memory suppression, destruction of neurons, interruption of memory, reconsolidation, [1] and the disruption of specific molecular mechanisms.
Selective memory can mean any of the following: Selective omission, the tendency to taboo some elements of a collective memory; Confirmation bias, the tendency to search for, interpret, favor, and recall information in a way that confirms one's preexisting beliefs or hypotheses. Lacunar amnesia, the loss of memory about one specific event.
Motivated forgetting is a theorized psychological behavior in which people may forget unwanted memories, either consciously or unconsciously.

But Sonic — and Jackson, whose records were in my family's basement and whose tapes were in our station wagon's cassette player — has a special resonance for me.
Scientifically speaking, memory inhibition is a type of cognitive inhibition, which is the stopping or overriding of a mental process, in whole or in part, with or without intention. [1] Memory inhibition is a critical component of an effective memory system. [2] While some memories are retained for a lifetime, most memories are forgotten. [3]
