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.

Twelve-year-old Nathaniel was having trouble solving the word problems in his math homework. His dad began reading the problems
Sonbull [250]

This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:

Twelve-year-old Nathaniel was having trouble solving the word problems in his math homework. His dad began reading the problems aloud and emphasizing the important information. As Nathaniel started catching on, his dad gradually provided less help for each new problem. This interaction illustrates:

A) Piaget's concept of concrete operational thought.

B) Erikson's concept of industry versus inferiority.

C) Vygotsky's concept of scaffolding.

D) Piaget's concept of conservation.  

Answer:

The correct answer is letter C) Vygotsky's concept of scaffolding.

Explanation:

According to Vygotsky's Zone of Proximal Development, scaffolding is the process in which a supporter helps a learner, but only to a certain extent. As the learner grows more knowledgeable, the supporter gradually withdraws his help, allowing the learner to do things on his own. Eventually, the learner becomes responsible for the outcome of his tasks. That is what Nathaniel's father is doing while helping him with his math homework. He assists Nathaniel, but slowly steps away allowing his son to solve problems on his own as he gains more knowledge.
