She really struggles to make progress with the hardest verbsthose that have really atypical patterns. What does this suggest about Anna's studying behavior?
a) The atypical verbs are outside Anna's region of proximal learning
b) The atypical verbs are susceptible to retroactive interference.
c) The atypical verbs are susceptible to proactive interference.
d) The atypical verbs do not respond to mnemonic devices.
Question 2
