It was predicted that retroactive inhibition could be produced using meaningful passages of prose. In addition, it was hypothesized that if the interpolated session took place in a context which was markedly different from the room used during original learning, the amount of retroactive inhibition would be less. Also, if there was a contextual change between the original learning and the recall session, retention would be less. A passage describing Jim as an extravert was first presented, followed by one describing him as an introvert. A classroom and cafeteria served as contrasting contexts. The hypotheses were confirmed
