"In telecommunications, an interference is that which modifies a signal in a disruptive manner, as it travels along a communication channel between its source and receiver."
The phenomenon where previously stored information interferes with the processing of new information.
Memory process: The series of cognitive processes for encoding, storage, and retrieval of information in the brain.
Working memory: A type of short-term memory that retains information for a brief period of time for immediate use.
Long-term memory: Memory that lasts for more extended periods of time and is stored in the brain's hippocampus and other structures.
Attention: The ability to focus and selectively attend to relevant stimuli while ignoring irrelevant or distracting information.
Executive functions: Higher cognitive processes that include working memory, mental flexibility, and self-control.
Retroactive interference: When new learning interferes with the recall of previously learned information.
Proactive interference: When previously learned information interferes with the recall of new learning.
Retrieval cues: Environmental or mental cues that can help trigger the retrieval of stored information.
Mnemonic devices: Techniques used to enhance memory, including acronyms, visual imagery, and association.
Consolidation: The process by which memories are strengthened and stabilized over time, occurring during sleep or when memory is rehearsed.
Context-dependent memory: When recalling information is more effective when in the same context or environment where it was learned.
State-dependent memory: When recalling information is more effective when the individual is in the same psychological or physiological state as when the learning occurred.
Interference theory: A theory of forgetting that suggests competition between new and old information in memory leads to forgetting.
Hermann Ebbinghaus: A German psychologist who pioneered research on memory, including the forgetting curve and the effects of repetition on memory.
Encoding specificity: The concept that memory performance is affected by the specificity of the learning context and retrieval cues.
Proactive Interference: This occurs when prior learning interferes with the ability to learn new information.
Retroactive Interference: This occurs when new information interferes with the retrieval of previously learned information.
Associative Interference: This occurs when related items cannot be stored or retrieved without other interfering items also being stored or retrieved.
Retrieval Interference: This occurs when relevant information is overshadowed by irrelevant information.
Response Interference: This occurs when two or more responses are in conflict with each other.
Retrograde Interference: This occurs when recent memories interfere with the retrieval of older memories.
Anterograde Interference: This occurs when older memories interfere with the acquisition of new memories.
Time-Based Interference: This occurs when the passage of time between encoding and retrieval causes interference.
Contextual Interference: This occurs when environmental cues or context cause interference in memory retrieval.
Competition Interference: This occurs when multiple items compete for attention during learning and recall.
State-Dependent Interference: This occurs when one's physical or emotional state at the time of learning interferes with retrieval under different states.
Retroactive Inhibition: This occurs when new learning inhibits the retrieval of previously learned information.
Decay Interference: This occurs when memories weaken or fade over time, making them more difficult to retrieve.
Similarity Interference: This occurs when the similarity between two memories causes interference in retrieval.
Forward Interference: This occurs when new information interferes with the retention of previously learned information.
"Common examples include electromagnetic interference (EMI), co-channel interference (CCI), adjacent-channel interference (ACI), intersymbol interference (ISI), inter-carrier interference (ICI), common-mode interference (CMI), and conducted interference."
"Electromagnetic interference (EMI) is a type of interference that disrupts a signal by the addition of unwanted signals to a useful signal."
"Co-channel interference (CCI), also known as crosstalk, is a type of interference that occurs when unwanted signals interfere with a desired signal on the same channel."
"Adjacent-channel interference (ACI) is a type of interference that occurs when unwanted signals interfere with a desired signal on an adjacent channel."
"Intersymbol interference (ISI) is a type of interference that occurs when the symbols or bits in a signal overlap and interfere with each other."
"Inter-carrier interference (ICI) is a type of interference caused by doppler shift in OFDM modulation (multitone modulation)."
"Common-mode interference (CMI) is a type of interference that occurs when unwanted signals appear in both the signal and its reference ground."
"Conducted interference is a form of interference in which disruptions are introduced into a signal through a conducting medium."
"Noise is a form of interference but not all interference is noise."
"Radio resource management aims at reducing and controlling the co-channel and adjacent-channel interference."
"Interference modifies a signal in a disruptive manner as it travels along a communication channel between its source and receiver."
"The purpose of reducing interference is to ensure a clean and reliable transmission of the desired signal."
"While interference can be reduced and controlled, it is challenging to completely eliminate interference in telecommunications."
"Electromagnetic interference (EMI) adds unwanted signals to a useful signal, thus disrupting its quality and integrity."
"Co-channel interference (CCI) occurs when unwanted signals, including crosstalk, interfere with a desired signal on the same channel."
"Adjacent-channel interference (ACI) can be caused by factors such as incomplete filtering or insufficient guard bands between channels."
"Intersymbol interference (ISI) occurs when symbols or bits in a signal overlap and interfere with each other, potentially causing errors and degradation in signal integrity."
"Inter-carrier interference (ICI) is caused by the doppler shift in OFDM modulation (multitone modulation), leading to distortions in the received signal."
"Controlling co-channel and adjacent-channel interference is crucial in wireless communication to ensure proper allocation of radio resources and maintain signal quality for multiple users."
