At your old apartment, you had to take out the trash every Friday. However, at your new apartment, the trash comes on Wednesdays. Now, you can never seem to remember to take the trash out in time (you keep thinking it needs to be taken out on Friday). This is an example of what type of forgetting?

Answer:

The answer is implicit forgetting.

Explanation:

It is a consequence of implicit memory, which is one of the two types of long-term memory. Memories of this kind are stored unconsciously and might affect our behaviour.

This precise example is a case of procedural memory, which allows people to perform tasks in an "automated" way. Other examples include remembering our way to work or school, or turning on a computer.
