}Previous experiments have mostly relied on recall as a dependent measure to assess whether retrieval of information from memory causes inhibition of related information. This study aimed to measure this inhibition in a more direct way. In Experiment 1, it was shown that repeated retrieval of exemplars from a category resulted in longer recognition latencies to nonretrieved exemplars from that same category, compared with recognition latencies to control exemplars. Experiment 2 obtained the same…

Abstract It has been demonstrated that retrieval practice on a subset of studied items can cause forgetting of different related studied items. This retrieval-induced forgetting (the RIF effect) has…

This work replicated cue-independent RIF and documented how access to the original study cues influences this effect, and found that overtly providing category cues on independent probe tests never increased RIF.

Retrieval-induced forgetting in item recognition: evidence for a reduction in general memory strength.
- PsychologyJournal of experimental psychology. Learning, memory, and cognition
- 2007
The authors argue that retrieval-induced forgetting in item recognition is caused by a reduction in general memory strength, which is consistent with prior work on free recall, cued recall, associative recognition, and response latencies and agrees with the inhibitory account of retrieved forgetting.
Retrieval-induced forgetting in implicit memory tests: The role of test awareness
- PsychologyPsychonomic bulletin & review

Test awareness seems to mediate retrieval-induced forgetting in implicit memory tasks, and this hypothesis predicts similar effects in implicitMemory tasks.

The authors adapted the standard paradigm to introduce lexical categories and indicated that the presence of RIF effects depended on using adequate cuing to induce competition during the retrieval practice and on the final memory test tapping the inhibited representation.
No retrieval-induced forgetting using item-specific independent cues: evidence against a general inhibitory account.
- PsychologyJournal of experimental psychology. Learning, memory, and cognition
- 2007
Results are not in line with a general inhibitory account, because this account predicts retrieval-induced forgetting with independent cues, but forgetting was found for both item types when studied categories were used as cues.
Retrieval-Induced Forgetting and Executive Control

Results strongly suggest that inhibition involved in RIF is the result of executive-control processes.

The present findings give support to an inhibitory control account of retrieval-induced forgetting and are in accord with the view that prefrontal regions play an important role in the selection and maintenance of relevant memory representations at the expense of those currently irrelevant.

It is argued that it is critical for humans to forget; that is, to have some means of preventing out-of-date information from interfering with the recall of current information, and that the primary means of accomplishing adaptive updating of human memory is retrieval inhibition.
