Interference Evaluation
- McGeoch (1932) has shown that students
are more likely to forget information from
topics that are similar in nature
- For example revision of psychology should not be followed by
revision of sociology as the learning of one will interfere with the
recall of the other

- Studies by Dallenbach have
demonstrated that forgetting is
influenced by what happens in the time
between learning and recall of
information
- The majority of supporting
experiments are lab based
and use nonsense syllables
to demonstrate interference
- The research therefore has low
ecological validity and
interference is much less easier
to demonstrate when
meaningful real life material is
used

- Other theories have focused on
lack of retrieval cues as an
explanation of forgetting
- Interference therory places too much
emphasis on activity between the learning of
informationand recall, ignoring internal and
external cues
