A VAST AMOUNT OF experimental evidence indicates that learning new things interfere with our memory of what we learned before or what we are going to learn latter.FOR EXAMPLE, you are going at the party where you are introduced to the many new peoples,when the evening is over you will probebly have forgotten the names of the peoples you have met.your memory of the names you heard eariler in the evenng has been interferenced by the names you learned later.TECHANICALLY SPEAKING memory interference resulting from activites that comes later or subseqent to the event you are trying to the remember is called REACTIVE INTERFERENCE.it is called recroative because the interference is with the memory of events that come before the interfering activity.PROATIVE INTERFERENCE,on the other hand is due to the events that came before the to-be remembered information.ALTHOUGH THE retroactive and proactive interference have been shown to be important cause of forgettings.ONE IDEA is that the interferenve disrupt the various kinds of assoication between stimuls and response formed during learning.FOR EXAPLE, in pired learning,peoples learn to form forward assoication between a stimuls and response and backward assoications between stimuls and responses.IF INTERFERENCE produced confusion in what is assoicated with and what,or some experiments indicates actually produce unlearning of the assoication forgetting will be the result.
