Solution

Retrieval-induced forgetting (RIF) is evident when RP- items are outperformed by NRP items.

Here's a step-by-step explanation:

  1. RP+ items: These are items that are related to the practiced item and are also practiced.

  2. RP- items: These are items that are related to the practiced item but are not practiced.

  3. NRP items: These are items that are not related to the practiced item and are also not practiced.

  4. In the context of RIF, it is observed that when a person practices (or retrieves) certain information, it can lead to forgetting of other related but unpracticed information.

  5. Therefore, RIF is evident when RP- items (related but unpracticed items) are outperformed by NRP items (unrelated and unpracticed items). This means that the person is more likely to remember unrelated information (NRP) than the related but unpracticed information (RP-).

Which theory of forgetting is correctly matched with its description? Decay-Information is lost over time as a result of non-use. Interference- Forgetting occurs when there are too few "triggers" to recall the information.  Cue-dependent- Forgetting occurs because other information in memory disrupts the retrieval of the information we are trying to remember.  Retroactive interference- Information learned earlier disrupts the recall of newer material.
