Resource summary
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
