Forgotten Ideas, Neglected Pioneers: Richard Semon and the Story of Memory. A teacher may struggle to learn the names of new students each year because they keep confusing them with the names of students from previous years.Older memories interfere with memories of the new information, making it harder to remember the grammar rules for the new language. A native English speaker who is trying to learn French might find that they keep trying to apply the rules of their native language to the new language they are trying to learn.In this case, newer information competes with the older learning. Students are often more likely to recall information that they learn shortly before an exam than the material they learned earlier in the term.The competing memory of the new recipe’s ingredients interferes with your memory of what you need at the store. Later at the grocery store, you find yourself struggling to remember the items from your shopping list. During the intervening time, you also happen to read a new recipe on your favorite cooking website.
You are trying to memorize a list of items you need to pick up at the grocery store.The memory of your old number interferes with your ability to recall your new number.
