Pseudo-forgetting is when there is a block between your short term memory and your long term memory. Something we know something (such as a telephone number), but when we attempt to recall it and we fail, we conclude we have forgotten it. The fact is we may never have stored the material or it may have been incorrectly stored. So it is not forgetting in the original sense, because the information never made it to the long term memory.
The forgetting curve illustrates the decline of memory retention over time. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forgetting_curve for more information.
