CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Proactive interference is when old memories disrupt the retrieval of new memories. It occurs when you can’t learn a new task because of the older memories embedded in the brain. Because older memories are usually retained in long-term memory, you rehearse them often, making them easier to recall.

Detailed explanation-2: -Proactive interference refers to the interference effect of previously learned materials on the acquisition and retrieval of newer materials. An example of proactive interference in everyday life would be a difficulty in remembering a friend’s new phone number after having previously learned the old number.

Detailed explanation-3: -1. Proactive interference (pro=forward) occurs when you cannot learn a new task because of an old task that had been learnt. When what we already know interferes with what we are currently learning – where old memories disrupt new memories.

Detailed explanation-4: -Retroactive interference is a phenomenon that occurs when new information impairs the ability to retrieve previously acquired memory traces (e.g., Baddeley and Dale, 1966).

Detailed explanation-5: -Retroactive interference occurs when old memories are changed by new ones, sometimes so much that the original memory is forgotten. This is when newly learned information interferes with and impedes the recall of previously learned information.
