Memory Is Victim
Of Modern Tempo
(>P) Newsfeatures
CINCINNATI. O.—Now if you
forget to mail the wife’s letter you
can blame it on the tempo of mod
em life and think nothing much
more of it—that is, if the wife
doesn’t find that letter in your
pocket.
Dr. Arthur G. Bills, professor of
psychology at the University of
Cincinnati, says time has become
so telescoped “and we have so
many stimuli poked at us that the
patterns of memory are broken
{ip.”
So even if the wife finds that
letter, Dr. Bills has an excuse for
you that may work—at least once.
It is “retroactive inhibition,”
which can be an entirely com
mendable affliction.
The psychologist demonstrates
the workings of retroactive inhibi
tion by teaching a person some
thing, allowing him to sleep for
one hour, then having him recite
it back. A second part of the test
involves the learnings of some
thing more, sleeping eight hours,
and then reciting it back.
In both these phases memory
works equally well, proving that
mere passage of time cannot be
blamed for forgetfulness. How
ever, when the same individual is
required to remain awake for
eight hours after learning his les
son, he forgets 60 per cent of it!
“That proves that retroactive in
hibition is caused by the number
of other things impressed upon the
memory between learning and at- j
tempted recall,” says Dr. Bills.
Moral: To remember to mail a :
|
letter, sleep on it.
