the questions 24 and 25
The mechanism of interference is one of the
responsible factors for forgetting. It has the
negative inhibiting effect of one learning
experience on another. It refers to the
condition of a new learning working
backward to impair the retention of old
learning or the old learning working forward
to disrupt later learning, which are termed
as retro-active and pro-active inhibitions
respectively. Another explanation for
forgetting is that due to lapse of time the learnt
material decays through disuse.
