Sebastian took 3 years of Latin in high school. In college, he takes three courses in Spanish. By the end of college, he finds it hard to remember much Latin. Sebastian is experiencing _____ interference.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer is retroactive interference.

Explanation:

Retroactive interference is a retrieval impariment in which new information interferes when remembering older information. For example, after one year with a new phone number, a person might forget his older number. This is related to the recency effect, which states that people remember the most recent information best.

The opposite is called proactive interference: older information interferes when creating new memories.
