The fact that the appearance of an irrelevant distractor, while an individual is recalling a word list, is evidence of the interference theory of forgetting.

This theory states that forgetting is caused by the appearance of competing memories. There is 2 categories. Retroactive interference occurs when new information interferes with the retrieval of old information and proactive interference occurs when old information interferes with the retrieval of new information.

In this example, this is a case of retroactive interference because an irrelevant distractor (new information) appears while the individual is recalling items on a word list (old information).

Dr. Gomez conducts a study examining the relationship between the number of friends one has and the experience of daily stress a
Anni [7]

Answer:

The relationship has the largest effect size.

Explanation:

So, we are given in the question above the following information or data;

(1). That the ''randomly samples 1,500 elderly men and women in Nashville, Tennessee (the state capital), located in the southern United States".

(2). Life satisfaction and experience of daily stress: r = −.57 (p = .01).

(3). "Number of friends one has and experience of daily stress: r = .09, not sig."

(4) ,"Number of friends one has and life satisfaction: r = .36 (p = .04) ".

Hence, if we compare all these correlations, Dr. Gomez will be most able to accurately predict life satisfaction from the experience of daily stress because the relationship HAS THE LAGEST EFFECT SIZE.

When people experience stress daily they develop lesser satisfaction. Scatterplot can be created for the relationship. So, if you look at the 3 correlations and the size given we can be be able to predict life satisfaction from the experience of daily stress
