proactive interference

Examples of proactive interference in the following topics:

• The Fallibility of Memory

  • Transience is caused by proactive and retroactive interference.
  • Proactive interference is when old information inhibits the ability to remember new information, such as when outdated scientific facts interfere with the ability to remember updated facts.
  • Retroactive interference is when new information inhibits the ability to remember old information, such as when hearing recent news figures, then trying to remember earlier facts and figures.

• Memory Retrieval: Recognition and Recall

  • Interference occurs in memory when there is an interaction between the new material being learned and previously learned material.
  • There are two main kinds of interference: proactive and retroactive.
  • Proactive interference is the forgetting of information due to interference from previous knowledge in LTM.
  • Retroactive interference occurs when newly learned information interferes with the encoding or recall of previously learned information.
  • This is due to retroactive interference.

• Types of Forgetting

  • Under interference theory, transience occurs because all memories interfere with the ability to recall other memories.
  • Proactive and retroactive interference can impact how well we are able to recall a memory, and sometimes cause us to forget things permanently.
  • Proactive interference occurs when old memories hinder the ability to make new memories.
  • In this type of interference, old information inhibits the ability to remember new information, such as when outdated scientific facts interfere with the ability to remember updated facts.
  • This is known as proactive and retroactive interference.

• Transience and Encoding Failure

  • Transience is caused by proactive and retroactive interference.
  • Proactive interference is when old information inhibits the ability to remember new information, such as preconceived notions, or changes in historical or scientific facts over time.
  • Retroactive interference is when new information inhibits the ability to remember old information, such as when hearing recent news figures, then trying to remember earlier facts and figures.

• Coping with Stress

  • The term "coping" usually refers to dealing with the stress that comes after a stressor is presented, but many people also use proactive coping strategies to eliminate or avoid stressors before they occur.
  • Proactive coping is a specific type of adaptive strategy that attempts to anticipate a problem before it begins and prepare a person to cope with the coming challenge.
  • They provide a quick fix that interferes with the person's ability to break apart the association between the stressor and the symptoms of anxiety.

• Interference

  • Interference occurs when multiple waves interact with each other, and is a change in amplitude caused by several waves meeting.
  • Interference usually refers to the interaction of waves that are correlated or coherent with each other (i.e, "interfere" with each other), either because they come from the same source or because they have the same or nearly the same frequency.
  • Interference can be constructive or destructive.
  • An example of constructive interference may be seen in .
  • An example of destructive interference can be seen in .

• Proactive Representatives

  • Proactive representatives tend to fall in to one of two main categories: Hunters and Farmers.
  • Proactive representatives tend to fall into one of two main categories: Hunters and Farmers.
  • Proactive representatives who are farmers work hard to produce a harvest.

• Conditions for Wave Interference: Reflection due to Phase Change

  • Interference is a phenomenon in which two waves superimpose to form a resultant wave of greater or lesser amplitude.
  • Interference is a phenomenon in which two waves superimpose to form a resultant wave of greater or lesser amplitude.
  • Destructive interference occurs when the crest of one wave meets a trough of another wave.
  • Examples of constructive and destructive interference are shown in .
  • Destructive interference occurs when the waves are half a cycle out of phase, or

• Responding to the External Environment

  • Marketers can respond in three basic ways to their environment – doing nothing, being proactive, or reacting.
  • Faced with these environmental uncertainties, marketers can respond in three basic ways – do nothing, be proactive, or react.
  • A less common response is to be proactive, or to try to change the environment before it changes the marketplace.

• Superposition and Interference

  • A wave may have a complicated shape that can result from superposition and interference of several waves.
  • As a result of superposition of waves, interference can be observed.
  • Interference is an effect caused by two or more waves .
  • This superposition produces pure constructive interference.
  • A brief introduction to constructive and destructive wave interference and the principle of superposition.
