  2. Interference theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interference_theory

    Of the two effects of interference theory, proactive interference is the less common and less problematic type of interference compared to retroactive interference. [1] Previously, it had been hypothesized that forgetting working memories would be nonexistent if not for proactive interference.

  3. Misinformation effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misinformation_effect

    The misinformation effect is an example of retroactive interference which occurs when information presented later interferes with the ability to retain previously encoded information. Individuals have also been shown to be susceptible to incorporating misleading information into their memory when it is presented within a question. [5]

  4. Forgetting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forgetting

    In nature, the interfering items are said to originate from an overstimulating environment. Interference theory exists in three branches: Proactive, Retroactive and Output. Retroactive and Proactive inhibition each referring in contrast to the other. Retroactive interference is when new information (memories) interferes with older information.

  5. Memory error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_error

    There are three types of memory biases, consistency bias, change bias and egocentric bias. [9] Consistency bias is the bias to reconstruct the past to fit the present. [9] Change bias is the tendency to exaggerate differences between what we feel or believe in the present and what we previously felt or believed in the past. [9]

  6. The Seven Sins of Memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Seven_Sins_of_Memory

    Failures are due to the general deterioration of a specific memory over time and are enhanced by interference of memories. There are two types of interference: proactive interference (old memory inhibits the ability to remember new memories properly), and retroactive interference (new memories inhibit the ability to remember old memories ...

  7. Associative interference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associative_interference

    Retroactive interference is the interference of newer memories with the retrieval of older memories. [16] The learning of new memories contributes to the forgetting of previously learned memories. For example, retroactive interference would happen as an individual learns a list of Italian vocabulary words, had previously learned Spanish.

  8. Spontaneous recovery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spontaneous_recovery

    Spontaneous recovery as it pertains to human memory can be traced back to the work of George Edward Briggs, who was concerned with the concept of retroactive interference. Inhibition, or interference, is a function of competition among responses, whereby a resultant memory has dominance over another.

  9. John Alexander McGeoch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Alexander_McGeoch

    This theory identifies two major contributors to forgetting: retroactive inhibition and change in context between learning and recall, and influenced how forgetting is understood today. [26] More specifically, McGeoch's work set the stage for the Two-factor Theory of Interference. McGeoch also wrote an introductory textbook on human learning ...
