Skaggs-Robinson hypothesis

Skaggs-Robinson hypothesis
Hypothesis about the level of retroactive interference depending on the degree of similarity between the original learning and a second memory task. When both tasks are identical, or nearly identical, the retention of the initial learning would reach a high level. When the two memory tasks are similar to an intermediate extent, the original learning retention would be low. When the two memory tasks are different, the original learning retention would be better, but without reaching the highest level (Robinson, 1927; Skaggs, 1925).
