Furthermore, Baddeley states that the tasks given to participants are too close to each other, and in real life, these events are more spaced out.
Baddeley & Hitch (1977) asked rugby players to try and remember the names of the teams they had played so far in that season, week by week.
The results showed that accurate recall did not depend on how long ago the matches took place, but rather the number of matches they played in the meantime.
The study supports the interference theory as it suggests that it can apply to at least some everyday situations.
