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.

Answer:

Concrete operations          

Explanation:

Concrete Operational Stage: This is the third stage in the cognitive-developmental theory given by Jean Piaget. This stage starts from the age of seven and lasts through the age of eleven years i.e, the time during middle childhood.

In the concrete operational stage the child becomes mature enough to implement logical operations or thought, for example, rules and regulations yet are only able to implement this logic to physical objects that is why it is known as concrete operational.

Conservation is one of the major characteristics of this stage.

Example: A child can differentiate between the amount of a liquid that will remain the same if nothing is taken or added in that liquid.

Which of the following statements helps to explain why government drug interdiction increases drug-related crime? The direct imp
harina [27]

Answer:Drug addicts will have an even greater need for quick cash to support their habits.

Explanation:

Interdiction refers to the fact that the government will forcefully stop the transportation of drugs .

When this happens this means no drugs are reaching the addicts and because they are already addicts and can no longer live without these drugs they will react hastily and commit crime.

They will get these reactions from their bodies that they can not control and as result they act irrationally and illogically.
