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.

labwork [276]

The correct answer is, No the Sea Sponges don't have brain.

Explanation:

Sea Sponges are the sea animals. They are found in the seas and oceans of the world. They are very commonly found and are in various colors. They are the animals with no backbone.

Sea Sponges are the animals which have actually no nervous system. They don't have brains, they don't have backbones. So when the young girl poked the sea sponge and the animal contracted, the reason behind this movement is that the sea sponges and other local populations are touch sensitive. They can contract or expand when touched or set free. Their movement is not the sign of having brains in them.

Sea Sponges are found in many colors like green, beige, blue, etc. They also have different shapes.
