retrieval: the process of recalling information from memory when required
Interference: the process in which a memory blocks the ability to recall information from another memory.
Proactiveinterference: when previously learned material interferes with learning new material, more likely to occur when information is similar
Retroactive interference: when newly acquired knowledge disrupts the retrieval of previously stored memories, more likely to occur when information is similar
Cues: things that serve as a reminder of past memories
retrieval failure: forgetting a previously learned memory, even after repeated attempts to retrieve it
