I know I may hate the answer, but I have to ask - what is "Interference"?

Hmm...kinda tricky to explain. Basically, the premise is that how we percieve and remember things can be halted or distorted during information processing if there are other things interfering with our stimulus intake. I don't know if that makes sense.

This can probably explain it better: http://www.apa.org/science/stroop.html
