CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Retroactive interference (retro=backward) occurs when you forget a previously learnt task due to the learning of a new task. In other words, later learning interferes with earlier learning-where new memories disrupt old memories.

Detailed explanation-2: -Retroactive interference occurs when the learning of new information, interferes with the recall of old information from long-term memory. For example, once you have learned your new mobile number, it is often very difficult to recall your old number. There is research support for interference theory.

Detailed explanation-3: -b) Retroactive Interference: the disruptive effect of new learning on the recall of old information.

Detailed explanation-4: -Retroactive interference happens when an individual is unable to recall old information because new information prevents its retrieval. In other words, new memories interfere with the retrieval of old memories. Retroactive interference has been shown to disrupt learning.

Detailed explanation-5: -In retroactive interference, the learning of a new task (task-B) impairs the retention of the previously learned task (task-A). In proactive interference, the learning of task-A before task-B impairs the ability to learn or remember task-B.
