WHAT'S THE WORD...??


Question Posted Monday July 7 2008, 1:02 am

I can't remember the word, but it's a term learned in psychology. I'll try to explain it as best I can.. It's when something from the past makes it harder to learn new things.

For example, say a person played tennis their whole life, then picked up volleyball. They are used to serving the ball the "tennis" way, which makes it harder to serve a volleyball the "volleyball" way.

Thank you sooo much if you know what it is!

Normal age-related changes in the brain can slow some cognitive processes, making it a bit harder to learn new things quickly or to ward off distractions.
