Jason studies Spanish for three years, and then switches to Pashto. When asked to remember Spanish vocabulary he can’t, instead he can only remember Pashto vocabulary. This is an example of retroactive interference.
Answer: Option D
Step-by-step explanation:
Retro active interference means that the individual can not remember the older information that he had learnt because the recent information is acting as an obstacle in recalling the older information.
The new information is a problem which does not let the old information to be recalled. That is why Jason can not recall Spanish which he had learnt three years ago and only remembers Pashto which he had learnt recently. Pashto is acting as an obstacle in recalling the Spanish language.
