Retrieving a subset of items can cause the forgetting of other items, a phenomenon referred
to as retrieval-induced forgetting. According to some theorists, retrieval-induced forgetting is …

Inhibitory control is a fundamental process that enables suppression of representations or
processes that interfere with ongoing cognition and behavior. This chapter reviews the role …

Reminders of the past can trigger the recollection of events that one would rather forget.
Here, using fMRI, we demonstrate two distinct neural mechanisms that foster the intentional …

Remembering and forgetting reflect fundamentally interdependent processes in human
memory (Bjork, 2011). This interdependency is particularly apparent in research on retrieval …

We present a new theoretical account of retrieval-induced forgetting (RIF) together with new
experimental evidence that fits this account and challenges the dominant inhibition account …

The standard textbook account of interference and forgetting is based on the assumption
that retrieval of a memory trace is affected by competition by other memory traces. In recent …

Four experiments examined the interplay of memory and creative cognition, showing that
attempting to think of new uses for an object can cause the forgetting of old uses …

The influence of classic interference theories on contemporary thinking about recall is
embodied in the principle of competitor interference, which suggests that forgetting is a …

Our study explores inhibitory control across a range of widely recognised memory and
behavioural tasks. Eighty-seven never-depressed participants completed a series of tasks …

Research on retrieval-induced forgetting has shown that the selective retrieval of some
information can cause the forgetting of other information. Such forgetting is believed to result …
