I think this first lesson last question has a flaw. Proactive interference should be old memory blocking new. I selected this answer but I got a wrong. The answer below was exactly what I had selected.

It is saying that a proactive interference causes loss of old memories (that the second answer is correct). Then the statement at the bottom says "A proactive interference prevents new memories..." (the first answer being correct)

I'm a bit confused--what is saying that "proactive interference causes loss of old memories"? The lecture? The statement at the bottom reads "Proactive interference prevents new memories from forming, while retroactive interference causes you to forget old information", which backs up the correct answer "Proactive interference . . . prevents new memories from forming". I'm not sure where the problem is.

I just checked it and it looks right to me: proactive interference is where old information blocks new memories, and that's the answer marked correct. Are you seeing something different?

I'm sorry for the delay, but thank you so much for letting me know! That question now has the correct answer marked as correct.
Thanks again.
