- 1MemoryInterference Theory
- 2Proactive interference - older memories interfere with newer ones. E.g. the memory of an old phone number disrupts attempts to recall a new number.Retroactive interference - newer memories interfere with older ones. E.g. number of a new registration number prevents recalling a previous one.
- 3Evaluation1) Supporting evidence from lab experiments. Consistent. Controlled, valid.
- 42) Effects of similarity. Only explains when similar. McGeoch and McDonald - retroactive interference by changing amount of similarity between two materials. Similar info gave worst recall. Interference strongest when memories are similar.3) Lab experiments. artificial. Not representative of real life. Reduces validity of findings and can't be used as complete explanation for forgetting.
- 54) Real life study - Baddeley and Hitch: Rugby players. Recall last game. Results same for recent or played a while ago. Shows incorrect recall not due to decay but interference from intervening games. Everyday life example.5) Interference overcome using cues. Tulving and Psokta: compared cue dependence theory and interference. Six categories of words. 70% recall for word list but fell as more lists learnt, due to interference. Rose back to 70% when given category name.
Interference not valid explanation for forgetting. If correct, words should disappear from memory all together. Words available just not accessible. - 66) Real world applications. Danaher. Advertising. Advertise lots on same day to avoid interference from other ads.
