Strength
real world application: Separating topics decreases interference and improves memory.
Schmidt et al: recall of streets, those who moved more had fewer recall (retroactive.)

Limitation
research like McGeoch and Mcdonald lacks ecological validity as people wouldnt be asked to recall words like that.
