Question

amaya says, \i cant think of my new phone password because i used my old password for years.\ what would a psychologist call this memory problem?
retroactive interference
proactive interference
primary reinforcer
secondary reinforcer

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Proactive interference occurs when old memories hinder the formation or retrieval of new memories. Amaya's long - used old password is interfering with her ability to think of a new one. Retroactive interference is the opposite (new memories interfering with old). Primary and secondary reinforcers are related to operant conditioning, not memory interference.

Answer:

B. proactive interference
