Skaggs-Robinson hypothesis  

Définition

  • The hypothesis that the degree of retroactive interference is a function of the degree of similarity between the primary memory task and the secondary memory task. When the two tasks are identical or nearly identical, retention of items from the primary task is assumed to be high. If the degree of similarity is intermediate, retention of items from the primary task is assumed to be low. If the two tasks are different, retention of items from the primary task is assumed to be better, but not at the highest level (Robinson, 1927; Skaggs, 1925).
