Is scent-enhanced memory immune to retroactive interference?
Research shows that scent enhances memory for associated information. Current debate centers around scent's immunity to “retroactive interference,” i.e., reduced memory for earlier-learned information after exposure to additional, subsequently-learned information. This paper demonstrates that scent-enhanced memory is indeed prone to retroactive interference, but that some of the information los...
متن کاملPigeons' (Columba livia) spatial reference memory is stable over long retention intervals
Pigeons received training sessions in which a 3 x 3 matrix of pecking keys was lit with red light. Pecking a particular key (but not the other eight keys) produced grain reward on an intermittent schedule. After this key-location discrimination was learned, subjects received occasional, nonrewarded test sessions, followed immediately by a "relearning" session. The time between these test sessio...
متن کاملRetroactive Interference 1 Running Head: PROBABILISTIC RETROACTIVE INTERFERENCE Probabilistic Retroactive Interference: The Role of Accessibility Bias in Interference Effects
Probabilistic retroactive interference (RI) refers to the interfering effects of intermixing presentations of an earlier-studied response (A-B) with presentations of a competing response (A-D). As an example, for a 2/3 condition, a cue word was presented with its earlier-studied response twice and its competing response once during the interference phase. Performance on direct and indirect test...
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 کاملMemory 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...
