output interference

disruption in the recall of learned material during which the act (or process) of retrieving one item interrupts the ability to recall other items. For example, in the attempt to recall a finite set of items (e.g., words on a list, the names of people in a group), the retrieval of some items can interfere with the retrieval of other items in the same set.
