6. If someone has learned something,
the person doesn't forget it in the sense that "it's no longer there;"
instead, the person simply isn't able to retrieve the information. Not
being able to retrieve/remember previously learned material is often "accounted
for" using the interference theory of forgetting (proactive and retroactive
inhibition), or cue-dependent forgetting (Bransford's transfer-appropriate
theory). Describe one of these explanations for retrieval failure. (4)
