In 5 experiments, the authors examined the influence of associative information in list-
method directed forgetting, using the extralist cuing procedure (Nelson & McEvoy, 2005) …

In list-method directed forgetting, participants are cued to intentionally forget a previously
studied list (List 1) before encoding a subsequently presented list (List 2). Compared with …

People can intentionally forget previously studied material if, after study, a forget cue is
provided and new material is learned. It has recently been suggested that such list-method …

In list-method directed forgetting, people are cued to forget a previously studied item list and
to learn a new list instead. Such cuing typically leads to forgetting of the first list and to …

Directed forgetting has been studied by instructing Ss to forget either (1) an initial list or (2)
individually selected words. Differential encoding was hypothesized to be responsible for …

When told we can forget some of the information we have studied, our memory for that
information is impaired. This is the phenomenon of directed forgetting. Two methods are …

Three experiments contrasted the effects of directed forgetting instructions when given by
item and given by list. In Experiment 1, which involved free recall of a single-category list …

Research on retrieval-induced forgetting has demonstrated that retrieving some information
from memory can cause the forgetting of other information in memory. Here, the authors …

According to the inhibition theory of forgetting (Anderson, Journal of Memory and Language
49: 415–445, 2003; Anderson, Bjork, & Bjork, Psychonomic Bulletin & Review 7: 522-530 …

Retrieval practice with particular items from memory can impair the recall of related items on
a later memory test. This retrieval-induced forgetting effect has been ascribed to inhibitory …
