Cognitive Psychology: Attention · Learning · Memory · Motivation · Perception · Thinking

The Interference theory of memory states that people forget not because memories are actually lost from storage, but because other information gets in the way of what people want to remember.

Proactive interference is one aspect of this theory and occurs when information learned earlier disrupts the recall of material learned later. This can become a problem when new information cannot be used correctly as it is interfered with by the older information.

ExampleEdit

Putting last year's date on a check shortly after New Year.
