Recent developments reveal that memories relying on the hippocampus are relatively
resistant to interference, but sensitive to decay. The hippocampus is vital to recollection, a …

The late posterior negativity (LPN) is an ERP effect frequently reported in episodic memory
tasks. In 2003, we proposed that both non-mnemonic action monitoring processes and …

Strong evidence suggests that memory for emotional information is much better than for
neutral one. Thus, one may expect that forgetting of emotional information is difficult and …

Subjective experience suggests that negatively arousing memories are harder to control
than neutral ones. Here, we investigate this issue in an item-cued directed forgetting …

Although previous studies have shown that individuals with depressive tendencies have
deficits in forgetting negative material, the detailed underlying neural mechanisms have not …

Emotionally arousing information is treated in a specialised manner across a number of
different processing stages, and memory for affective events is often found to be heightened …

Previous research has demonstrated that emotional material is more likely to be
remembered than neutral material (Hamann, 2001). The present study employed the item …

The directed forgetting paradigm is frequently used to determine the ability to voluntarily
suppress information. However, little is known about brain areas associated with information …

The present study examined the electrophysiological correlates of intentional forgetting
using the item-method directed forgetting paradigm. Participants (N= 23) studied a series of …

This study examined the effect of the processing demands of to-be-remembered (TBR)
words on item-method directed forgetting. Experiment 1 found that a standard memory group …
