Differentiate between Proactive Interference and Retroactive Interference.
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
Proactive interference (pro=forward) occurs when you cannot learn a new task because of an old task that had been learnt. ... Retroactive interference (retro=backward) occurs when you forget a previously learnt task due to the learning of a new task.
Retro active interference refers to difficulty in according to what one have learn earlier because of learning a new material. For example, -we have learnt a list of word 'A' followed by list of word 'B' and if we are not able to recall list 'A' because of learning list 'B' ,it is called retro active interference.
Proactive interference refers to difficulty in recalling the later learning as the earlier learning interferes with the subsequent learning. For example, - We have learnt list 'A' followed by list 'B' and we are not able to recall list 'B' because of learning of the previous list. This is known as proactive interference.
