Condition (1) WHILE PREPARING TO READ ANYTHING
(i) If it is something you had already read and understood, you will never hesitate to review it again. Of course you can't take out that chance that you might never touch it again out of your over confidence which makes you forget them sometimes due to the overlapping confusion created by different things that you have studies and failed connections between them.
(ii) If it is something of your interest, even though it is a tome, you will start to tread and enjoy it.
(iii) If it is something that you heard would be difficult for you to read, you either readily give up or you will fear whether you could understand and complete it or not and give up reading them.

(v) If that learning is something that should be done as an obligation to pass through an important exam or any of its relative for your life, usually, the fear comes of it will consume your concentration, will and confidence of success even before starting to learn.
Condition (2) WHILE READING
(i) Absence of mind : Thought you learn by heart or read out, even though you are looking at the book, what you see will not be processed and image signals are
not sent yo your brain, which acts as the base for the recollection of the data when you need them out of your mind. In this state, after you flip to the next page, you
will forget what you have seen in the previous page, though you seem like seriously looking at what you are reading.
(ii) Not being able to understand : This is one big difficulty one would face while reading. Not being able to understand what they are learning. Failing to understand to concept or context of what a person is learning makes it difficult for him/her to continue reading them. This will reduce the concentrations psychologically and stirs the reasons to give up. The more they try to keep pushing forward, the more they gets confused of what they are reading. Few people try to memorize them blindly alone a chain of words.
(iii) Distraction : Not keeping fair amount of concentration but still trying to concentrate will be impeded by different kinds of distractions around us. Once getting distracted by anything will make us forget what we have read and makes us start all over again.
(iv) Giving up due to time bound : Though we could able to concentrate fairly, cause of the time bound available is very less for the amount of things that are to be learned to get the desirable result, we try to give up and shift to things that are more pleasurable instead of taking pain in reading for which the desirable outcome is uncertain.
(v) Being Unnecessary : Though we may have enough talent to learn and understand, one may not be ready to expend their concentration and effort to learn something cause one might feel the thing they are learning is no where necessary and slowly gives up reading it thought they have to lean it. They find more interest in leaning some other things they find might be useful at the some time.
Because of the above reasons, people tend to sleep while reading or learning anything.
Condition (3) AFTER READING
Usually one who couldn't understand the context and concept or couldn't able to rote, though they read everything, the possibility of recollecting what they have learned is very less. Few will fail,usually who rote, with the break of thread in the sequence of the memory of an idea, they tend to forget everything, sometimes due to fear and nervousness.
The possibility of forgetting things will be there when we rote, and overwrite the information in brain with some other information, thoughts and apprehensions.
