Aim: to investigate interference in a natural everyday setting
Method: interviewed rugby players and aksed them to recall the names of the teams that they had played over a season. the time interval was, however, some players had missed some of the games due to injury.
Findings: found that the players that played most games porportionately forgot more than those who played the least games
Conclusion: suggests that interference occurs in real life too as the time delay was the same.
- If decay is correct, then they should all have forgotten similar amounts of info, but they didn't. So it suggests that the extra information interferes so can't acess the memories as well.
