D)Interference-dependence
E)Attention-dependence

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All of the options listed (retrieval-specificity, cue-independence, interference-dependence, and attention-dependence) support the role of inhibition in forgetting. Inhibition theory suggests that forgetting occurs because certain memories are suppressed by the action of inhibitory processes, which can be specific to the retrieval context (retrieval-specificity), not necessarily tied to specific cues (cue-independence), influenced by competing information (interference-dependence), and affected by the distribution of attention (attention-dependence).
