rate of forgetting的意思|示意

So, back to our question about the cause of childhood amnesia, there is something called the rate of forgetting.

那么，回到我们的问题，关于儿童健忘症的原因，有一个叫做遗忘率的东西。

Childhood amnesia may reflect a high rate of forgetting, in other words, children under the age of 3 do form memories and do so without language.

儿童健忘症可能反映了很高的遗忘率，换句话说，3岁以下的儿童确实形成了记忆，而且是在没有语言能力的情况下形成的。

Now, tests showed that there was a faster rate of forgetting among the youngest children, but most importantly it showed that the development of recall did not depend on language development.

如今，测试显示年幼孩子的遗忘速度更快，但最重要的是，测试表明记忆的发展并不依赖于语言的发展。

That means we lose a lot of information soon after it goes in, then, over time, the rate of forgetting slows down.

这意味着在最初的几天我们遗忘的速度是最快的也会忘掉大部分信息，而随着时间迁移，我们遗忘的速度就渐趋平缓了。
