  2. Interference theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interference_theory

    Retroactive Interference has been localized to the left anterior ventral prefrontal cortex by magnetoencephalography (MEG) studies investigating Retroactive Interference and working memory in elderly adults. [23] The study found that adults 55–67 years of age showed less magnetic activity in their prefrontal cortices than the control group.

  3. Misinformation effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misinformation_effect

    The misinformation effect is an example of retroactive interference which occurs when information presented later interferes with the ability to retain previously encoded information. Individuals have also been shown to be susceptible to incorporating misleading information into their memory when it is presented within a question. [5]

  4. Memory inhibition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_inhibition

    Scientifically speaking, memory inhibition is a type of cognitive inhibition, which is the stopping or overriding of a mental process, in whole or in part, with or without intention. [1] Memory inhibition is a critical component of an effective memory system. [2] While some memories are retained for a lifetime, most memories are forgotten. [3]

  5. Memory error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_error

    In such cases, retrieval cues continue to be associated and aimed at recalling previously learned information, affecting the recall of new material. Retroactive interference is the opposite of proactive interference, in which there is difficulty in the recall of previously learned information based on the interference of newly acquired information.

  6. Memory and retention in learning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_and_Retention_in...

    Retroactive interference is when newly learned information impairs previously retained information, and proactive interference is when previously learned information interferes with newly retained information. [4] Essentially, interference theory posits that stored memories interfere and hamper one another, which is why we forget learned ...

  7. Forgetting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forgetting

    Interference theory refers to the idea that when the learning of something new causes forgetting of older material on the basis of competition between the two. This essentially states that memory's information may become confused or combined with other information during encoding, resulting in the distortion or disruption of memories. [16]

  8. Retrieval-induced forgetting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retrieval-induced_forgetting

    Researchers have described how interference may explain RIF in a number of ways. For instance the theory of blocking suggests that because practiced words are more easily remembered at test, they may occupy a "response channel" in memory and effectively prevent unpracticed–related words in memory from being remembered. Unpracticed–unrelated ...

  9. Memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory

    Interference can hamper memorization and retrieval. There is retroactive interference, when learning new information makes it harder to recall old information [121] and proactive interference, where prior learning disrupts recall of new information. Although interference can lead to forgetting, it is important to keep in mind that there are ...
