Interference

Explanation:

When there is difficulty in trying to recall something this situation is called interference.

Here, the unneeded information which is the disturbance in the dorm causes her not being able to recall what she read. This makes it difficult for her to store new information as her brain is already trying to process the noise in her dorm room.

Hence, the memory issue she is describing is interference.
