Question

A) motivated forgettingB) proactive interferenceC) retroactive interferenceD) temporary amnesia

Answer 1

Answer:

B) proactive interference

Explanation:

proactive interference is tendency of previous learning to interrupt current learning.

   since here, varian's previous learning of Latin is making him difficult to grasp Greek. It can be well explained by proactive interference.

motivated forgetting happens when people try to forget certain things which they find irrelevant either unconsciously or consciously

proactive interference is phenomenon in which current learning hinders the learning of previous learnt knowledge.

temporary amnesia also known as transient amnesia is phenomenon in which a person losses memory before, during and after sometime of the event(the particular event which one is not able to remember).
