Jerome's failure to retrieve his paper is analogous to the decay theory of forgetting, whereas Kaci's failure better resembles the interference theory. It is a decay theory because Jerome's term paper file in the computer was corrupted resulting in the loss of all his files including his paper whereas for Kaci, it is interference because her term paper was mixed with all the other documents in her hard drive.
