The mechanism responsible for retrieval-induced forgetting has been the subject of rigorous theoretical debate, with some researchers postulating that retrieval-induced forgetting can be explained by…
Providing corrective feedback during retrieval practice does not increase retrieval-induced forgetting
- Psychology

Recalling a subset of studied materials can impair subsequent retrieval of related, nontested materials. In two experiments, we examined the influence of providing corrective feedback (no feedback,…

The study can provide an indication as to the robustness of retrieval-induced forgetting to deviations from the traditional college undergraduate samples that have been used in the majority of existing research on the effect.
Retrieval from Episodic Memory: Neural Mechanisms of Interference Resolution
- Psychology, BiologyJournal of Cognitive Neuroscience

Functional magnetic resonance imaging study investigates the neural processes underlying retrieval-induced forgetting and examines the extent to which these processes are retrieval (i.e., selection) specific.
A progress report on the inhibitory account of retrieval-induced forgetting
- PsychologyMemory & cognition
- 2012
The goal of the present progress report is to critically review the inhibitory account of retrieval-induced forgetting and to provide direction so that future research can have a more meaningful impact on the understanding of human memory.
Can interpolated testing reduce retrieval-induced forgetting?
- Psychology
- 2013
This dissertation examined whether testing only a subset of the exemplars in a block would inoculate participants against the buildup of proactive interference and how the presentation order of the Rpexemplars relative to the Rp+ (tested) exemplars influenced the magnitude of retrieval-induced forgetting.
The Influence of Corrective Feedback on Retrieval-induced Forgetting
- Psychology
- 2011
Prior research has shown that testing can impair subsequent recall of nontested materials: an effect termed retrieval-induced forgetting. In the current study, I examined the effect of providing…

Information retrieved from memory becomes more recallable in the future than it would have been otherwise. Competing information associated with the same cues, however, tends to become less…
Dissociating the two faces of selective memory retrieval
- Psychology, BiologyMemory
- 2012
This work examined retrieval dynamics in listwise directed forgetting, varying the delay between preceding non-target and subsequent target recall, and found detrimental effects of memory retrieval on to-be-remembered items but beneficial effects on to -be-forgotten items.
Forgetting as a consequence of retrieval: a meta-analytic review of retrieval-induced forgetting.
- PsychologyPsychological bulletin
- 2014
The first major meta-analysis of retrieval-induced forgetting is conducted, quantitatively evaluating the multitude of findings used to contrast these 2 theoretical viewpoints, and the results largely supported inhibition accounts but also provided some challenging evidence.

A strategy disruption component to retrieval-induced forgetting
- PsychologyMemory & cognition
- 2006
Across three experiments, which manipulate which items individuals are cued to recall during retrieval practice and demonstrate that retrievalinduced forgetting can be neutralized when those items do not interfere with the individual's retrieval strategy, results are inconsistent with a purely inhibitory account of retrieval-induced forgetting.

Retrieval-induced forgetting in implicit memory tests: The role of test awareness

Test awareness seems to mediate retrieval-induced forgetting in implicit memory tasks, and this hypothesis predicts similar effects in implicitMemory tasks.
No retrieval-induced forgetting using item-specific independent cues: evidence against a general inhibitory account.
- PsychologyJournal of experimental psychology. Learning, memory, and cognition

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?
- PsychologyPsychonomic bulletin & review
- 2006
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.
