Exploring the role of late-occurring nonspecific retroactive interference and interest on recall
… post-encoding distraction, known as Nonspecific Retroactive Interference (NRI), may cause forgetting (Keppel, 1968; Wixted, 2004). However, recent experiments have not always found evidence for NRI and its effect may be very mild. NRI was tested across five experiments which aimed to take the …

Changes to Associative Learning Processes in Later Life
… looked at the extent of pro- and retro-active interference in learning. Experiments 9 and 10 used easy and hard HCL problems to examine the role of rule induction in learning. Older participants who had learned initial discriminations better were more prone to pro-active interference in both …

Comparing the Cognitive Mechanisms of False Memories with the Misinformation and DRM Paradigms
… MI paradigm generates false memories based on retroactive interference across episodes, while the DRM paradigm generates false memories based on semantic similarities across stimuli. Since current research is ambiguous about whether the processes for different types of false memories are …

Dynamic Effects of Stress and Hostility: Group Differences in Cardiovascular Regulation and Learning
… negative affective learning produced proactive interference for the learning or recall of subsequently presented information. Positive affective learning produced diametrically opposite effects with retroactive interference for the recall of previously presented information. Also, high-hostiles' …
