    Proactive interference in memory is influenced by more than just time. Similarity across multiple factors, like color and form, significantly impacts memory performance.

    Area of Science:

    • Cognitive Psychology
    • Experimental Psychology
    • Human Memory

    Background:

    • Theoretical models often attribute proactive interference in delayed-matching-to-sample tasks primarily to temporal factors.
    • This perspective may overlook other significant influences on memory performance.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the role of non-temporal factors in proactive interference.
    • To examine how similarity across different dimensions affects memory in delayed-matching-to-sample paradigms.

    Main Methods:

    • Two experiments were conducted manipulating the similarity of consecutive trials along color, form, and position dimensions.
    • A mathematical model was developed to assess the influence of dimensional similarity on memory judgments.

    Main Results:

    • Proactive interference was significantly affected by similarity in color, form, and position between trials.
    • Similarity of sample and test contexts also contributed to memory performance.
    • A multiplicative interaction model accurately predicted observed data, highlighting the interconnectedness of similarity dimensions.

    Conclusions:

    • Proactive interference is influenced by a broader range of factors than previously emphasized, including multiple stimulus dimensions.
    • The findings challenge the notion that these factors operate independently, suggesting an interactive influence on memory.
