Interference
Karten in diesem Stapel (7)
- 1What is proactive interference?Where old learning prevents recall of more recent information.
- 2What is retroactive interference?When new learning prevents recall of previously learned information.
- 3When will proactive and retroactive interference be more likely to occur?When the memories are similar, e.g old and new telephone numbers.
- 4How did Postman (1960) provide evidence for interference?Participants were split into two groups. Both groups had to remember a list of paired words. The experimental group also learnt another list of words where the second word was different from the original set. The control group did not get the second list. When asked to recall words on the first list, the recall of the control group was more accurate than that of the experimental group. This suggests that learning items in the second list interfered with the participants ability to recall the list - retroactive interference.
- 5What does interference fail to tell us about?The cognitive processes involved in forgetting.
- 6Why may research into interference may not be valid?Most research has been carried out in a laboratory using procedures low in ecological validity.
- 7How did Baddeley criticize the research?He said the tasks are too close to each other, and they should be more spaced out to represent real life interference.
