Belinda and John were best friends through their school years. Belinda now works in a café and has become good friends with her colleague, Jim. However, Belinda often finds herself referring to Jim as John, even though she has not spoken to John for at least four years. Belinda’s confusion with the names may be attributed to the occurrence of:
A. proactive interference.
B. retroactive interference.
C. retrograde amnesia.
D. anterograde amnesia

Respuesta :

Answer: A

Explanation: The correct answer is letter A, proactive inference. This reffers to when we find something new that reasembles something we already know, we sometimes fill in the gaps with inferences; in this case John and Jim starts with the same letter and also Belinda has a similar relationship that she had with John.

Both amnesias that are mentioned among the options have nothing to do with this particular case due to their sympthomatic nature.
