Nota editorial

  • Competition between memory traces is one of the processes invoked to explain forgetting, particularly that caused by retroactive interference. For example, participants learn a first list of A-B word pairs and then a second list of A-C words. Thus, the same words (A) are associated with different responses in the two lists (B and C). When the first list of word pairs is tested, by asking participants to recall the B responses associated with the A words, the acquired A-B and A-C associations compete. The more recent associations (A-C) are thought to block the older ones (A-B).
