Memory Without Consolidation: Temporal Distinctiveness Explains Retroactive Interference
Is consolidation needed to account for retroactive interference in free recall? Interfering mental activity during the retention interval of a memory task impairs performance, in particular if the interference occurs in temporal proximity to the encoding of the to-be-remembered (TBR) information. There are at least two rival theoretical accounts of this temporal gradient of retroactive interfer...
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;...
متن کاملDoes Recall after Sleep-Dependent Memory Consolidation Reinstate Sensitivity to Retroactive Interference?
Previous studies have shown that newly encoded memories are more resistant to retroactive interference when participants are allowed to sleep after learning the original material, suggesting a sleep-related strengthening of memories. In the present study, we investigated delayed, long-term effects of sleep vs. sleep deprivation (SD) on the first post-training night on memory consolidation and r...
متن کاملConsolidation and retroactive interference in short-term recognition memory for pitch.
The present studies were carried out to investigate the effects of different retroactive stimuli on pitch discrimination in a short-term recognition memory task. Tones, Gaussian noise, and "Blank" stimuli were employed in the retroactive (interference) interval. Tones in the interference interval can enhance memory for pitch if the observer (0) employs the interference stimulus as a point of re...
متن کاملWhen Learning Disturbs Memory – Temporal Profile of Retroactive Interference of Learning on Memory Formation
Introduction: Consolidation is defined as the time necessary for memory stabilization after learning. In the present study we focused on effects of interference during the first 12 consolidation minutes after learning. Participants had to learn a set of German - Japanese word pairs in an initial learning task and a different set of German - Japanese word pairs in a subsequent interference task....
