Which of the following would be most likely to lead to an improvement in a person's memory?

A) a decrease in the branching pattern of dendrites
B) a decrease in proactive interference
C) an increase in repression
D) an increase in retroactive interference

Proactive Interference

The tendency of previously learned material to hinder subsequent learning.

Retroactive Interference

Retroactive interference occurs when new information interferes with the ability to recall previously learned information.

Dendrites

The branched projections of a neuron that act to conduct the electrochemical stimulation received from other neural cells to the cell body, or soma, of the neuron from which the dendrites project.
