contents The role of the number of cues on retroactive interference in human predictive learning Ana García Gutiérrez Juan M. Rosas Psicología Two experiments explored retroactive interference in human predictivelearning. The name of a food was paired first with a gastric illness (A+), andthen paired with a different gastric illness that was incompatible with thefirst one (A*). Experiment 1 presented three additional cues. C was followedby no outcome (C-). B was followed by * during the first phase, and then itwas not presented during the second phase. Finally, D was presented onlyduring the second phase, and it was followed by +. Under these conditions,retroactive interference was found as participants judging that A wasfollowed by the second outcome, rather than by the first one. However, thistreatment was generalized to B. This generalization was eliminated in thesecond experiment when the number of cues was increased, so thatparticipants had the opportunity to learn that some cues may have notchanged their meaning across phases. These results suggest that to find aclear effect of retroactive interference is needed to give participants theopportunity to learn that the meaning of different cues is independent of oneanother. 2003 artículo científico 0211-2159 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=16924206 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=169 Psicológica application/pdf Universitat de València Psicológica (España) Num.2 Vol.24
