Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract Interference profoundly influences learning and remembering, functioning as the major cause of forgetting. This chapter surveys the history of research on interference in learning and memory from the earliest empirical work at the dawn of experimental psychology to the most recent work in cognitive modeling. Several forms of interference at the time of learning are examined, most notably proactive and retroactive interference, which are respectively negative influences from learning that took place before or after a target episode. Also considered is interference that takes place at the time of remembering, notably output interference. Other mechanisms that may contribute to forgetting—particularly decay and inhibition—are briefly considered, and the role played by changes in context is highlighted. Overall, the goal is to characterize how interference influences both learning and remembering.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
