A LEVELS OF PROCESSING AND EXAMINATION OF THE EFFECTS OF RETROACTIVE AND PROACTIVE INTERFERENCE IN VOCABULARY LEARNING
Abstract
The "levels of processing" paradigm has been extensively investigated since it's inception in 1972. Despite positive results in the literature critics continue to attack this perspective particularly regarding the lack of an operational definition. Utilizing resistance to retroactive and proactive interference as a perspective from which to examine the "levels" perspective, three experiments are conducted to investigate the effects of retroactive and proactive interference on vocabulary words which have been subjected to varying levels of processing. The results are reported, educational implications examined and suggestions for future research are offered.
