Whats that word??

Theres another term when, someone recalls something, but after say two hours they cannot recall 100% of it, im just asking because after this particullar incident happened, I wrote it down within the half hour, the other people didn't write or record...

their version of events until the next day, how can I prove that my version is more acturate???because I recorded it sooner...and they were more likely...maybe unintentionally...got their version inaccurate its like a medical term or legal term something about memory??

oooh, I think I know what you are talking about...it might have something to do with the attentional blink...thats where your eye focuses on a target, and another target is flashed for a very short amount of time, or there is a movement that is going on that you didnt see specifically, but your brain still takes it in to process...or maybe gate control theory...or im just throwing stuff out there because I hate when I cant remember a word...help?

Short Term Memory Loss?

Are you talking about memory retention, also called memory recollection?
