Interference
Interference is the tendency for new memories to impair retrieval of older memories, and the reverse. Interference occurs when competing information causes an individual to forget something.
Moreover, Interference is a hypothesized process of forgetting in which material is thought to be buried or otherwise displaced by other information but still exists somewhere in a memory store.
