Question 2 / 50:  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
