Abstract
AbstractHow the dynamic evolution of forgetting changes for different materials is unexplored. By using a common experimental paradigm with stimuli of different types, we were able to directly cross-examine the emerging dynamics and we found that even though the presentation sets differ minimally by design, the obtained curves appear to fall on a discrete spectrum. Furthermore, we have previously proposed a model of forgetting based on the notion of retrograde interference with a single integer parameter. All measured curves were compatible with the model with different values of the parameter, hinting to a potential common underlying mechanism of forgetting.
