Research has made clear that intellectual tasks are sensitive to interference. Psychological processes including
attention, perception, learning, and memory are easily disrupted, and resistance to interference is an important
dimension of cognition. The capacity for inhibiting interference differs widely among individuals and as a factor
of age and experience. Interference and Inhibition in Cognition presents an overview of research on how inhibition
and interference affect cognition, and the factors that influence inhibitory processes and interference sensitivity.
