Answer:

Retroactive interference

Step-by-step explanation:

Retroactive interference is a phenomenon that describes the event that occurs in the human memory, in which the recall of older information is hindered by newer information. In retroactive interference, new information that an individual takes in interferes with the recall of older information in the human memory, as a result of competition between both.
