• Card 3 / 54: In an experiment aimed to study short-term memory, subjects were asked to remember three-letter consonant trigrams (LCK) during retention intervals, during which they counted aloud, ranging from 0 to 18 seconds. On average, recall for the trigrams was virtually absent after 18 seconds. Subsequent studies revealed that the poor memory at 18 seconds was primarily due to
    A) Limited capacity of short-term memory
    B) Serial position effect
    C) Retroactive interference in long-term memory
    D) Proactive interference in long-term memory

    Answer:
    D) Proactive interference in long-term memory
