Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Interference refers to the displacement of information due to the presence of competing or similar items in memory. As we acquire new information, it can interfere with previously stored memories leading to forgetting. The highlighting effect and generalization refer to different types of cognitive biases, while decay refers to the gradual fading of memories over time. Therefore, interference is the best choice for this question.
