The interference theory is a theory regarding human memory. Interference occurs in learning. The notion is that memories encoded in long-term memory (LTM)...

this theory. It has been found that interference related tasks decreased memory performance by up to 20%, with negative effects at all interference time...

of the series because of the interference within the items in the series. Shapiro proposes that the amount of interference increases or decreases with...

subtractive interference of wavefronts. Young's experiment, performed in the early 1800s, played a crucial role in the understanding of the wave theory of light...

(constructive interference) or lower amplitude (destructive interference) if the two waves are in phase or out of phase, respectively. Interference effects...

automatization when naming colors compared to reading words. In the study of interference theory, the most commonly used procedure has been similar to Stroop's second...

Delaying recall had virtually no effect on recall accuracy. The interference theory seems to fare best with explaining why the similarity between memory...

associated with interference theory. Interference theory can be defined as the how and the why of long-term memory loss. This theory also suggests that...
