Retroactive interference refers to the difficulty one experiences in recalling something earlier learned as opposed to recent information studied. For example a student studied French in the first semester and now is in the process of doing Spanish, it will be more difficult to recall the French than the Spanish , because the current topic is fresher in his mind.
