Determinants of Short-term Forgetting: Decay, Retroactive Interference or Proactive Interference?
In two experiments short-term forgetting was investigated in a short-term cued recall task designed to examine proactive interference effects. Mixed modality study lists were tested at varying retention intervals using verbal and non-verbal distractor activities. When an interfering foil was read aloud and a target item read silently, strong PI effects were observed for both types of distractor...
متن کاملShort-term forgetting without interference.
In the 1st reported experiment, we demonstrate that auditory memory is robust over extended retention intervals (RIs) when listeners compare the timbre of complex tones, even when active or verbal rehearsal is difficult or impossible. Thus, our tones have an abstract timbre that resists verbal labeling, they differ across trials so that no "standard" comparison stimulus is built up, and the spe...
متن کاملProactive and Retroactive Interference Effects in Development
Infants and children are avid learners. This constant aggregation of new knowledge, however, can interfere with past and future learning. Proactive interference (PI) occurs when past learning interferes with new learning, while retroactive interference (RI) is the attenuation of memory for previous learning as a result of new knowledge. Previous work has demonstrated that adults and children di...
متن کاملInterference-Based Forgetting 1 Interference-Based Forgetting in Verbal Short-Term Memory
This article presents four experiments that tested predictions of SOB (Serial Order in a Box), an interference-based theory of short-term memory. Central to SOB is the concept of noveltysensitive encoding, which holds that items are encoded to the extent that they differ from alreadyencoded information. On the additional assumption that distractors are encoded into memory in the same manner as ...
متن کاملShort-term memory loss over time without retroactive stimulus interference.
A key question in cognitive psychology is whether information in short-term memory is lost as a function of time. Lewandowsky, Duncan, and Brown (2004) argued against that memory loss because forgetting in serial recall occurred to the same extent across serial positions regardless of the rate of recall. However, we believe Lewandowsky et al. (2004) only prevented one of two types of rehearsal;...
