Q

What can be impacted by interference?

A

Accuracy,
Peterson and Peterson 1959 found only 50% accuracy when did tractor- 6 seconds long,
Close to 0% when duration- 18 seconds.

Q

What did Nairne eat al 1999 find?

A

Minimised overlap between stimuli, used different words.

Accuracy is very high up to durations of over 1.5 minutes.
When interference is limited= little decay.

Q

What’s the process of consolidation?

A

LTM stored in cortex,
Forming trace takes time,
Interactions between hippocampus and (neo) cortical regions crucial in formation of memories,
Continued activation, cortical sites communicate,
Consolidation continues.

Q

What is the multiple trace theory?

Nasal and mosoevith 1997-1998

A

Consolidation creates multiple traces of memory in brain,

Damage to hippocampus removes some traces
