• What are the two types of interference discussed?

  Proactive and retroactive interference
• What does proactive interference involve?

  Old information interferes with new information
• What does retroactive interference involve?

  New information disrupts recall of old information
• What makes interference more likely to occur?

  Similarity of information and time sensitivity
• How does similarity affect interference?

  Similar information creates response competition
• What did Schmidt's research demonstrate?

  Retroactive interference affects recall of street names
• What did Greenberg and Underwood's research show?

  Proactive interference decreases recall accuracy
• What is cue-dependent forgetting?

  Information is inaccessible without correct cues
• What is the encoding specificity principle?

  Contextual information is encoded with memories
• What are context-dependent cues?

  Cues from the external environment that trigger memories
• What did Godden and Baddeley's study demonstrate?

  Recall is better in the same environment learned
• What are state-dependent cues?

  Cues from internal states like mood or arousal
• What did Overton's research find about state-dependent cues?

  Recall is better in the same state as learning
• What are category-dependent cues?

  Cues linked to organized information for recall
• What did Tulving and Pearlstone's study show?

  Categorized recall is better than uncategorized recall
• What are practical applications of forgetting research?

  Revision strategies and eyewitness testimony accuracy
• What is a limitation of interference theory?

  It may not explain all types of forgetting
• What is a criticism of research on memory?

  It often lacks mundane realism
