“…The former process is known as within-individual retrieval-induced forgetting (WIRIF), and the latter as socially shared retrieval-induced forgetting (SSRIF, Cuc, Koppel, & Hirst, 2007;Stone, Barnier, Sutton, & Hirst, 2010, 2013. Built off of the retrieval-induced forgetting paradigm (RIF; Anderson, Bjork, & Bjork, 1994), researchers examining SSRIF have found such forgetting for a number of different stimuli, including stories (Cuc et al, 2007;Stone et al, 2010), autobiographical memories (Stone et al, 2013), flashbulb memories (Coman, Manier, & Hirst, 2009); academic material (Koppel et al, 2014), medical information (Coman, Coman, & Hirst, 2013), beliefs (Vlasceanu & Coman, 2018), atrocities (Coman, Stone, Castano, & Hirst, 2014), and controversial topics (i.e., euthanasia; . As this research makes clear, SSRIF is a robust phenomenon.…”
