An investigation of response competition in retrieval-induced forgetting
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…
No retrieval-induced forgetting using item-specific independent cues: evidence against a general inhibitory account.
TLDR
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.
Is retrieval success a necessary condition for retrieval-induced forgetting?
TLDR
Using a procedure in which some cues posed an impossible retrieval task for participants, evidence is reported that the attempt to retrieve, even if unsuccessful, can produce retrieval-induced forgetting, which supports and refines a suppression/inhibitory account of retrieval- induced forgetting.
Accelerated relearning after retrieval-induced forgetting: the benefit of being forgotten.
TLDR
Of most interest, and very surprising from a common-sense standpoint, items that were relearned benefited more from that relearning if they had previously been forgotten.
When remembering causes forgetting: retrieval-induced forgetting as recovery failure.
TLDR
Although retrieval practice reduced recall totals of the unpracticed items, in both experiments, the forgetting was not accompanied by an effect on the items' response latencies, which is consistent with the view that inhibited items are successfully sampled but, because of a reduction in their activation level, do not exceed the recovery threshold.
Successful inhibition, unsuccessful retrieval: Manipulating time and success during retrieval practice
TLDR
Results support the inhibitory account of retrieval-induced forgetting and offer insight into the dynamics of how and when inhibition plays a role in retrieval.
Retrieval-induced forgetting in item recognition: evidence for a reduction in general memory strength.

TLDR
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.
Less we forget: Retrieval cues and release from retrieval-induced forgetting
TLDR
The results challenge the inhibition account’s fundamental assumption of cue independence but are consistent with a cue-based interference account.
Retrieval-induced forgetting and recognition memory: insights from behavioral and electrophysiological experiments
Retrieving a subset of previously studied items can impair later recognition of related items. Using the remember/know procedure (Experiment 1 and 5), the ROC procedure (Experiments 2-4), and…
Retrieveal-Induced Forgetting in a Cross-Language Design
Retrieval-induced forgetting refers to the notion that remembering may sometimes cause forgetting of related but currently irrelevant items. This thesis aimed at investigating if this phenomenon…

Gone but Not Forgotten: The Transient Nature of Retrieval-Induced Forgetting
TLDR
Investigating some possible boundary conditions of retrieval-induced forgetting found a critical determinant of temporary forgetting was the interval between guided retrieval practice and a final recall test, which is considered in the wider context of adaptive forgetting.
Remembering can cause forgetting: retrieval dynamics in long-term memory.
TLDR
A critical role for suppression in models of retrieval inhibition and a retrieval-induced forgetting that implicate the retrieval process itself in everyday forgetting are suggested.
Retrieval-induced forgetting: Evidence for a recall-specific mechanism
TLDR
These findings argue that retrieval-induced forgetting is not caused by increased competition arising from the strengthening of practiced items, but by inhibitory processes specific to the situation of recall.
The influence of distinctive processing on retrieval-induced forgetting
TLDR
Investigation of the relationship between distinctive processing of the original set and retrieval-induced forgetting found that the results are consistent with the view that distinctive processing benefits memory within an organizational context.
On recollections lost: When practice makes imperfect
Recent research has demonstrated that the act of remembering can prompt forgetting or, more specifically, the inhibition of specific items in memory (M. C. Anderson & B. A. Spellman, 1995). This line…
Is retrieval-induced forgetting an inhibitory process?
TLDR
The findings indicate that the retrieval-induced forgetting effect is replicable but that previous findings supporting an inhibitory account of this phenomenon may not be.
Retrieval-induced forgetting in episodic memory.
TLDR
Across experiments, retrieval-induced forgetting was observed for different perceptual groupings and for different cuing procedures, but the effect, however, required retrieval of information during the interpolated phase.
Integration as a general boundary condition on retrieval-induced forgetting
When people form connections between several memories that share a common retrieval cue, the tendency for those memories to interfere with one another during later retrieval attempts is often…

TLDR
This paper describes and evaluates explanations offered by these theories to account for the effect of extralist cuing, facilitation of recall of list items by nonlist items.
