An explanation for forgetting when material is stored in the LTM but cannot be consciously recalled as a result of a lack of retrieval cues to ‘jog the memory' is known as

• Interference theory

• Retrieval failure

• Repression

• Memory storage failure

An explanation for forgetting when one memory blocks another, causing one or both memories to be distorted or forgotten is known as...

• Interference theory

• Retrieval failure

• Repression

• Memory storage failure

Proactive interference is

• new memories interfere with other new memories.

• occurs when past memories inhibit the recall of newer memories.

• occurs when new memories inhibit the recall of older memories

• old memories interfere with old memories.

Retroactive interference is

• new memories interfere with other new memories.

• occurs when past memories inhibit the recall of newer memories.

• occurs when new memories inhibit the recall of older memories

• old memories interfere with old memories.

Baddeley & Hitch's rugby union study to test interference study is really good because

• it is a lab study which has high control of variables

• it is a real life study which means it is very scientific

• it is a lab study so has high ecological valdiity

• it is a real life study which gives high ecological validity
