Question

Who proposed interference theory of forgetting melton and irwin?

Answer 1

Retroactive interference is rare or nonexistent in studies of infant visual recognition memory (for review, see Rose et al., 2007) but common in conditioning studies of infant long-term memory (Rossi-George and Rovee-Collier, 1999; for review, see Rovee-Collier and Boller, 1995). Three-month-olds who were exposed to a novel mobile immediately after training, for example, recognized it but not the original one 24 h later. With the passage of time, the retroactive interference dissipated, and infants again recognized only the original mobile 48 h later (Gulya et al., 2002). In serial learning studies with adults, a recency effect after short test delays and a primacy effect after longer ones is also common.
