Interference refers to the phenomenon where previously learned information interferes with the retrieval of new information. Blocking is a type of interference where a previously learned association interferes with the ability to form a new association with a similar stimulus. Similar sounds can cause interference and induce blocking. Decay refers to the fading of memory over time, priming refers to the facilitation of processing a stimulus due to prior exposure, and extinction refers to the gradual reduction and eventual elimination of a conditioned response.
