Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Proactive interference occurs when previously learned information interferes with the recall of newly learned information. In this case, Brian had previously learned to drive on the right side of the road in Canada, which interfered with his ability to remember to drive on the left side of the road in England. Encoding failure and retroactive interference do not apply to this scenario.
