Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Retroactive interference occurs when new information interferes with the ability to recall old information. This is in contrast to proactive interference, which occurs when previously learned information interferes with the ability to recall new information. Novel interference and forward-acting interference are not commonly used terms in the context of interference in memory recall.
