Question
waneta says, \i like my new school so much better that i can hardly remember what my old school was like. the names and faces from my old life are just a blur.\ what would a psychologist call this memory problem?
retroactive interference
proactive interference
primary reinforcer
secondary reinforcer
Retroactive interference occurs when new - learned information disrupts the ability to recall old information. Waneta's positive experience at the new school is making it hard for her to remember her old school, which is an example of retroactive interference. Proactive interference is the opposite (old information interfering with new learning). A primary reinforcer is a biological need - related reward (like food), and a secondary reinforcer is associated with primary reinforcers (like money).
