- Forgetting
- Interference
- Explains forgetting in the LTM
- Proactive interference
- When an older memory interferes with a newer one
- Retroactive interference
- When a newer memory interferes with an older one
- Interference is worse when memories are similar
- McGeoch and McDonald
- Evaluation
- Strengths
- Supporting research for real-life situations
- Baddeley and Hitch
- Supporting drug studies
- Coenen and Van Luijtelaar
- Supporting research for real-life situations
- Weaknesses
- Interference is temporary and can be overcome using cues
- Tulving and Psotka
- Interference is temporary and can be overcome using cues
- Strengths
- Retrieval failure
- Encoding specificity principle
- A cue must be present at encoding and at retrieval
- Tulving
- Non-meaningful cues
- Context-dependent forgetting
- Recall depends on external cue
- State-dependent forgetting
- Recall depends on internal cue
- Context-dependent forgetting
- Forgetting due to the absence of cues
- Context- dependent forgetting
- Godden and Baddeley
- Divers learned and recalled words either on land or in the sea
- Accurate recall was 40% lower in the non-matching conditions
- Godden and Baddeley
- State-dependent forgetting
- Carter and Cassaday
- Participants learned and recalled words either on antihistamines or not
- If the participant was in a different internal state in recall to learning, recall was worse
- Carter and Cassaday
- Evaluation
- Strengths
- Real world application
- Retrieval cues can help prevent everyday forgetting
- Supporting research
- Godden and Baddeley
- Carter and Cassaday
- Eysenck and Keane
- Real world application
- Weaknesses
- Only applies to recall, not recollection
- Godden and Baddeley replication
- Only applies to recall, not recollection
- Strengths
- Encoding specificity principle
- Interference
