Answer:

Curve of forgetting                                      

Explanation:

Curve of forgetting or the forgetting curve was developed by a German psychologist named Hermann Ebbinghaus.

The forgetting curve demonstrates the declination of memory maintenance or retention in time. It states that there is a loss in memory or information over a period of time if memory rehearsal or retention is not being done.

The brain lacks the ability to a piece of memory over time if the memory is not being recalled or retained.

In the case of Lisa, in the given question loss of memory occurs because the memory has not been consciously reviewed again.
