I think the theory describes it rather well, but the theory must be described well. All information in encoded in the brain through neuronal connections called synapses. Information is transmitted through chemical messengers called neurotransmitters. As a synapse is used, it makes more receptors for the neurotransmitters. If it is not used, the brain cleans house and dumps the number of receptors for the given neurotransmitter in the given synaptic space. That makes information transfer harder and slower. Eventually, the receptors will be nill and recall would be lost. I'm not sure where the question is.

TRUE. memory can recover over time, e.g. u forgets something but then u recall it later. also, the theory did not talk about the forgetting processes, merely the fact that memory disintegrates over time.
