Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Interference tends to confuse the retrieval process in long-term memory, making it difficult to recall specific information due to the presence of similar or competing information. In short-term memory, interference can completely knock items out of storage because short-term memory has a limited capacity and can only hold a small amount of information for a short period.
