Document Summary

4: this goes against trace decay theory, tells us, memories don"t fade away over time, something else is going on. Expeiremental group initial pairings interferes with the learning and retrieval of the second list: retroactive interference paradigm, both groups do the ab pairing. 9: controls don"t do ac learning phase, tested on ab pairing, ac pairing interferes with ab pairing that occurred before, learning something new interferes with what you have learnt previously, this is the opposite of retroactive interference. 10: general (interference) findings, in both paradigm the performance is worse for the expeiremental group compaied to the control group, in both pi and ri paradigms, recall is worse for. Experimental than control groups: why, (1) response competition, (2) unlearning, (3) list differentiation. 11 (1) response competition: occurs because the items in the a column are paried with. 2 differene choices: there is competition between generating the b item or the.
