   Interference
   This is the doctrine (originally from Ebbinghaus, 1885) that forgetting can be caused by competing demand for memory resources, rather than by simple time lapse alone. You forget, in other words, because one engram can become mixed up with, and eventually indistinguishable from, earlier or later one

   Interference
   The combining of two or more signals (superposition of waves) results in an interaction called interference. This may be constructive or destructive. Another use of the term is to refer to undesired signals, such as noise on a radio transmission.Constructive InterferenceWhen the peaks and troughs of two interfering waves match, the amplitudes add t...

   interference
   interfering. Compare with constructive interference and destructive interference. The amplitudes of waves moving into the same region of space add to produce a single resultant wave. The resultang wave can have higher or lower amplitude than the component waves. See constructive interference and destructive interference.

    Interference
    `Interference` is the addition (superposition) of two or more waves that results in a new wave pattern. As most commonly used, the term `interference` usually refers to the interaction of waves which are correlated or coherent with each other, either because they come from the same source or because they have the same or nearly the same frequency. Two non-monochromatic waves are only fully coherent with each other if they both have exactly th...
