“…Finally, a few authors have proposed that non-inhibitory mechanisms are sufficient to perform some tasks classically considered to be inhibitory (e.g., MacLeod, Dodd, Sheard, Wilson, & Bibi, 2003;Perfect et al, 2004). Consequently, we must consider the inhibitory nature of the tasks administered in the present study.…”

“…Consequently, we must consider the inhibitory nature of the tasks administered in the present study. At this time, only two out of the six tasks we used have been discussed in terms of noninhibitory mechanisms: the direct forgetting task in episodic memory and the retrieval-induced forgetting paradigm (MacLeod et al, 2003;Perfect et al, 2004), and no information was available for the four remaining tasks. On this basis, it is very difficult to evaluate whether the pattern of performance of elderly participants is due to the inhibitory (or non-inhibitory) nature of some tasks.…”

The aim of this study was to compare the performance of elderly and young participants on a series of memory tasks involving either intentional or unintentional inhibitory control of memory content. Intentional inhibition processes in working and episodic memory were explored with directed forgetting tasks and in semantic memory with the Hayling task. Unintentional inhibitory processes in working memory, long-term memory and semantic memory were explored with an interference resolution task, the retrieval practice paradigm and the flanker task, respectively. The results indicate that elderly subjects' performance on the two directed forgetting tasks and the Hayling task is lower than that of young ones, and that this impairment is not related to their initial memory capacity. This suggests that there is a specific dysfunction affecting intentional inhibitory control of memory contents in normal aging.

“…One possibility is that retrievalinduced forgetting is not cue independent. Although there is considerable evidence that retrieval-induced forgetting is cue independent, some theorists remain skeptical (for various opposing views, see e.g., Camp, Pecher, Schmidt, & Zeelenberg, 2009;Perfect et al, 2004), and the current work may provide evidence against it. Another possibility is that inhibition acts somewhat differently in the context of problem-solving-induced forgetting than it does in the context of retrieval-induced forgetting.…”

“…One question we sought to address in the current paper is whether the forgetting is cue dependent or cue independent. Some theorists have argued that inhibitory-based forgetting should be observed when a response is tested given a new or independent retrieval cue (e.g., Anderson, 2003;Anderson & Spellman, 1995; but see Perfect, Stark, Tree, Moulin, Ahmed, & Hutter, 2004). For example, the item banana should not only become less recallable when tested using the category cue fruit, but also when tested using a new cue, such as monkey.…”

“…For example, the item banana should not only become less recallable when tested using the category cue fruit, but also when tested using a new cue, such as monkey. Many studies have tested this prediction in the context of retrieval-induced forgetting and a good number of them have provided evidence of cue-independent forgetting (e.g., Anderson & Bell, 2001;Anderson, Green, & McCulloch, 2000;Anderson & Spellman, 1995;Johnson & Anderson, 2004;MacLeod & Saunders, 2005;Radvansky, 1999;Saunders & MacLeod, 2006), whereas others have not (e.g., Camp, Pecher, & Schmidt, 2005;Perfect et al, 2004;Williams & Zacks, 2001).…”

Abstract:Thinking and remembering can cause forgetting. In the context of remembering, retrieving one item can cause the forgetting of other items (Anderson, Bjork, & Bjork, 1994). A similar phenomenon has been observed in the context of creative problem solving-attempting to generate a target associate in the Remote Associates Test (RAT) can cause the forgetting of inappropriate associates (Storm, Angello, & Bjork, 2011). Experiment 1 examined whether this problem-solving-induced forgetting is cue dependent or cue independent by manipulating the cues used at final test. Whereas some participants were tested on the inappropriate associates using the same cues that were used during problem solving, other participants were tested using new, or independent, cues. Problem-solving-induced forgetting was observed in the same-cue condition, but not in the new-cue condition. Experiment 2 replicated the overall absence of problem-solvinginduced forgetting in the new-cue condition and found that individual differences in cue-independent forgetting did not predict problem-solving performance on a separate set of RAT problems.

In the past 20 years, a new approach to forgetting has been proposed, based on the notion of inhibition. According to this view forgetting is partly due to a process of inhibitory control. In this chapter, I review the current status of this account, discussing the evidence that has been proposed as well as the counterarguments that have been made. I show that the paradigms that are likely to generate the best evidence for inhibition are the retrieval induced forgetting paradigm and the think / no-think paradigm. Other paradigms such as directed forgetting and part-list cuing seem to be better explained using other memory principles. I conclude that there is a need for a consistent and preferably formalized model that combines inhibition and competition as principal factors in forgetting.
