Study Notes
Retrieval-Induced Forgetting
- Retrieval practice triggers inhibition, leading to forgetting of competing memories
- Active retrieval of practiced items induces forgetting of competing memories
- Replacing retrieval practice with re-study eliminates later forgetting of competing memories
Properties of Retrieval-Induced Forgetting
- Retrieval-specificity: retrieval-induced forgetting is induced by the struggle to extract a trace from memory in the face of interference
- Strength independence: retrieval-induced forgetting is not due to strengthening of practiced items
- Interference dependence: interference during retrieval practice affects retrieval-induced forgetting
Interference-Based Forgetting
- Proactive interference: earlier memories disrupt the ability to retrieve more recent memories
- Interference-based forgetting worsens with increasing amounts of training on new material
- Learning new materials can substantially worsen memory of old materials
Types of Forgetting
- Cue-dependent/context-dependent forgetting: memory failures due to changes in retrieval cues or context
- State-dependent forgetting: physiological state at encoding and retrieval affects memory
- Incidental forgetting: unintentional memory failures
- Interference-based forgetting: due to competition between memories
- Retrieval-induced forgetting: due to retrieval practice
- Motivated forgetting: intentional or motivated forgetting, including directed forgetting and retrieval suppression
