Karen has been having a difficult time remembering the verbs in her new french class because she keeps mixing them up with the verbs she learned in her old spanish class. this is an example of a. retroactive interference b. retrograde amnesia c. proactive interference d. anterograde amnesia

The answer is C, "Proactive interference".

Interference is an explication for forgetting things in long term memory. There are two types of interference, Retroactive interference and proactive interference.

The retroactive type occurs when more recent information gets in the way of trying to recall some older information. Something different happens with proactive interference that occurs when old information prevents the recall of new information. The last one is exactly what happens with Karen, the verbs she learned in her old Spanish class stops her in some way from remembering the new verbs in her new French class.
