The idea that there is a loss of interference in the nervous system when one is experiencing the reminiscence bump is not an adequate account of the phenomenon. While there may be biological factors at play, the reminiscence bump is primarily thought to be driven by cognitive and sociocultural factors such as cultural scripts and the high incidence of "firsts" in one's life. Additionally, the availability of better retrieval cues for memories from this period of life may also play a role.
