Explanation / Answer

19. B) The interference theory explains that forgetting is caused by competing memories with similar qualities which occurs in two ways: retroactive interference when new information leads to the forgetting of old information and proactive interference, when old information interfere with remembering new information

In simpler terms, this could be explained such that the theory of interference is when there would be interaction between the incoming memories and the already present memories such that when old memories would interact with new memories, the ransfwr of past learned behaviour would have a negative effect on the new material that is being comprehended.

20. A) Memory can be improved by paying attention and reducing interference, organising and rehearsing information, self monitoring and over learning, using mnemonics, using encoding specificity principle and countering serial position effect.
