What is the difference between proactive and retroactive interference?
Proactive interference occurs when old memories interfere with the ability to remember new information, while retroactive interference happens when new information interferes with the ability to recall old memories. In proactive interference, old memories hinder new learning, whereas in retroactive interference, new learning disrupts the recall of older memories.
What are the independent variables in the brown-Peterson experiment?
The independent variables in the Brown-Peterson experiment are the time interval (short vs. long delay between presentation of information and recall task) and the type of interference (interference task vs. no interference task).
What are the two types of psychologists?
Two main types of psychologists are clinical psychologists who focus on diagnosing and treating mental health issues, and research psychologists who conduct experiments and studies to advance the field of psychology.
What are the two basic types of behavior?
There are two types of basic human behavior. Innate behavior, which is automatic and exhibited by all individuals. Learned behavior, which is modified by experience and will vary. Both of these behaviors are triggered by stimulus.
What is the magnitude of proactive interference effects?
Proactive interference effects can vary depending on the individual and the specific task involved. Generally, the magnitude of proactive interference is greater when the interfering information is similar to the target information and when the retention interval between learning and recall is longer. Other factors, such as cognitive load and individual differences in working memory capacity, can also influence the extent of proactive interference effects.
