The correct answer is D. decreases . . . improves. McGeoch & McDonald (1931) tested their hypothesis that words with the same meaning would be more prone to interference than the unrelated information. In the experiment participants were given a list of words that they practised until they fully memorized it.  They were then given another list to remember.  The second lists varied, so the second list was totally unrelated. Others were given a second list that contained synonyms of the first. When asked to recall the first list, those who had learned synonyms in the second list had a weaker result and learning unrelated information in the second list produced less impairment.  The conclusion was that the interference was most likely to occur with the similar material.

The correct answer is D. As interference decreases, retention improves.

Interference occurs when two pieces of information conflict with each other, resulting in forgetting of one or both, or in some distortion of memory.  

According to Interference theory, more interference from competing information should produce more forgetting.

zalisa [80]

Answer:

B. childhood sexual instincts.

Explanation:

Neo-Freudian personality theorists were most likely to disagree with Freud about the importance of childhood sexual instincts.  

Most Neo-Freudian Thinkers such as the case of Erik Erikson considered that Freud was not accurate when he assured that the personality of an individual was shaped in a great extent by childhood events and sexual instincts. Some other neo-Freudian thinkers were also in disagreement with Freud in aspects such as the negative view of the human nature, the lack of emphasis on those social and cultural aspects that impact behavior and personality or Freud's argument of sexual urges as a primary engagement factor.

Why is there a shortage of helium?
LenKa [72]

Answer:

Many people do not realize that helium is a non-renewable resource. It is made on earth via nuclear decay of uranium, and it is recovered from mines. Once it is released into the atmosphere it becomes uneconomical to recapture it, and eventually atmospheric helium will escape earth altogether because it is so light.
