 In his publication titled "Forgetting and the law of disuse," McGeoch criticizes Thorndike's theory of the Law of Disuse, which posits that information is forgotten over time if it is not activated.McGeoch argues that the passage of time has no bearing on forgetting; rather, forgetting can be better understood in terms of interference that takes place during the interval between initial learning and test.Following the introduction of the concept of Retroactive inhibition, McGeoch developed the transfer theory of retroactive inhibition.
