After learning a new phone number, Sam keeps accidentally dialing his old number. Which interference is occurring?
A
Retroactive interference: the new phone number disrupts recall of the old number, making the earlier number harder to produce when needed.
B
Proactive interference: the old phone number interferes with recall of the newly learned number, leading Sam to dial the older sequence.
C
Parietal-lobe storage deficit: number sequences cannot be stored after learning, so Sam's new number was never consolidated at all.
D
Exact recording model: memory should store both numbers perfectly, so dialing the old one proves Sam is choosing it intentionally.
