Interference
- Forgetting in the long term memory is due
to confusion between old and new
memories
- Retroactive interference is when the
learning of new information
interferes with the learning of old
information
- This would be the professor having
trouble remembering people's names
from a year or two before because he
has learned new people's names
- Proactive interference is when the learning
of old information interferes with the learning
of new information
- This causes the professor to have a
harder time remembering the names of
people in class because he has learned so
many names in the past
- In the short tern store interference is
important as it prevents rehearsal which is
needed for information to go from the STM
to the LTM
