Abstract
In a recognition task, we used EEG to measure memory reactivation in anticipation of perceptual interference. Individuals who reactivated memory suffered smaller behavioural interference costs compared to individuals who relied on passive memory traces. Thus, reactivating long-term memories in working memory may be an effective strategy to prepare for interference.
