The time between training and testing for forgetting
Retention interval
Deterioration in learned behavior following a period without practice.
Forgetting.
Deterioration in behavior not neurological record of experience.
Learning that occurs during a particular physiological state and is lost when that physiological state passes.
State-dependent learning
A method of measuring forgetting that consists of providing the opportunity to perform the learned behavior
Free recall
Fints about the behavior to be performed are provided
prompted recal
a behavior is learned to criterion before and after a retention interval
Relearning method/Savings method
The subject is required to identify stimuli experienced earlier
recognition
the opportunity to match a sample follow a retention interval.
Delayed matching to sample
comparing the rate of extinction after a retention interval with the rate of extinction immediately after training
Extinction method
a behavior is tested for generalization before and after a retention interval. A flattening of the generalization gradient indicates forgetting.
gradient degradation
Forgetting caused by learning that occurred prior to the behavior in questions
Proactive interference
A learning task involving pairs of words or other stimuli in which the subject is presented with the first item of a pair and is expected to produce the second item
Paired associate learning
Forgetting caused by learning that occurred subsequent to the behavior in questions
Retroactive interference
forgetting that results from the absence of cues that were present during training
context/cue-dependent forgetting
any technique for aiding recall
mnemonic
