Neural Correlates of Memory Interference at Encoding – An ERP Study
Proactive interference is the phenomena where previously learned information interferes with the learning of new information, causing a reduction in retrieval of the new information. This phenomenon is studied with the AB/AC paradigm, in which participants encode two word-pair lists (B/C) that share a common word-cue (A). The common finding in studies using this paradigm is a reduced accuracy for
