Effect of off-line time and over-learning different periods on Stabilization-Based Consolidation process and retroactive Interference in expilicit Memory

So far, the best periods has not been set for off-line and for memory consolidation to occur and these periods vary, and whether over- learning enhances retention in a way that is really beneficial has been controversial. The aim of this research was the effect of over- learning and off-line different periods on Stabilization-Based Consolidation process and retroactive Interference in explicit Memory.

In this semi- experimental research, Participants included 60 female students between the ages of 20 and 30 who were voluntarily selected. The participants after meeting the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into 6 experimental groups with periods of 5 minute, 24 hours in offline with two factors over-learning and non-over-learning and two control groups.This research consisted of two phases of learning and retention and the initial task (forehand kick) and the second (backhand kick) task was used for this research.

Findings of ANOVA with repeated measure emerge from our results. First, off-line alone (24 hours and 5 minutes) is not enough to learn an assignment. Second, initial task at off-line times (24 hours and 5 minutes), the over- learning was consolidation, and the learning of the forehand kick became resistant to backhand kick interference.

According to the results, suggest that over- learning can play a significant role in explicit motor memory, but the off-line in explicit motor memory alone cannot make retroactive interference resistant. The results show that continuous and sustained interference can be attributed to the retroactive effects of memory retrieval.
