When you remember the name of a movie by using a memory of the fact that you got sick at the theater, you?

sensory gating

proactive amnesia

selective attention

context



I originally thought it was proactive amnesia but the more I thought about it it may have been sensory gating. Please help?When you remember the name of a movie by using a memory of the fact that you got sick at the theater, you?
Isn't proactive amnesia when you can't learn something new because something old blocks it? That's not the case here; you still remembered the name of the movie.



And sensory gating is when you receive two sensory stimuli but the brain blocks one. I don't think it's that either.



Honestly, I think it's context. You remember the name of the movie because of another, simultaneous event.
