Retroactive Inhibition

EXPERIMENT NO: 2
Retroactive Inhibition
Problem Statement
To determine the effect of learning on prior learning by function
of two non-sense syllables.
Methodology
Hypothesis
Subjects’ performance in control group on recall list A will be
better than the recall of subjects in experimental group.
Independent Variable
The list of non-syllables, Meaningful word
Dependent Variable
Subject recall
Sample/subject
There are two subjects, one is experimental and other is
control group which has same attribute no past experience and
knowledge with same 8th semester.
Instruments/Tools
List of non-syllables, memory drum paper pencil, and stop watch.
Procedure
The experiment was performed online via phone call. First, we
use the recalling method in which first subject is experiment. As a
psychologist I recall the first the non-sense words the subject listens
carefully according the inform concerned he recall the words which the
subject remembers. The right and wrong pronunciation of words
counted a then the meaning words recalling and same procedure
repeat. The experimental group has two chances to improve the
memorization. Then the turn of the control group and recall the sense
then non-sense words and record it.

EXPERIMENT NO: 2

To determine the effect of learning on prior learning by function

of two non-sense syllables.

Subjects’ performance in control group on recall list A will be

better than the recall of subjects in experimental group.

The list of non-syllables, Meaningful word

There are two subjects, one is experimental and other is

control group which has same attribute no past experience and

knowledge with same 8th semester.

The experiment was performed online via phone call. First, we

use the recalling method in which first subject is experiment. As a

subject remembers. The right and wrong pronunciation of words

counted a then the meaning words recalling and same procedure

repeat. The experimental group has two chances to improve the

then non-sense words and record it.

whereas for List B the subject accurately responded to 11 words and

responded 6 words accurately and make 6 errors and B the subject

responded accurately 11 words from list and made one error.

Table 8 indicated the recall for the control group non-sense

syllables and meaningful words. The results indicate that subject

responded 6 words accurately and make 6 errors in meaningful words

while in non-sense words 5 right and 7 errors.
