University of Leicester Year 1 Psychology Learning and Memory Professor Graham Davies Lecture 5 Copies of Overheads Approaches to Forgetting

Do memories decay ? Plato: Wax Tablet Theory McGeoch’s criticisms (1932) Jenkins & Dallenbach (1924)

Interference from existing or subsequent memories Retroactive interference Pro-active interference Rote vs Meaningful Learning (Ausubel et al. 1968)

Forgetting and the Modal Model Three stages of memory - encoding - storage - retrieval Forgetting from sensory memory (decay?) Forgetting from short term memory (interference?) Forgetting from long term memory (retrieval failure?)

Forgetting as retrieval failure Availability versus accessibility Cue-dependent forgetting (Thomson & Tulving, 1970) State-dependent forgetting (Eich, 1980) Environmentally-dependent forgetting (Godden & Baddeley, 1975)

Motivated forgetting ? Concept of Repression (Freud) Eileen Franklin and the Susan Nason Murder case (1969) The Recovered Memory / False Memory controversy No one explanation for forgetting, rather, different factors operate in different types of task and ranges of material.
