Journal ArticleDOI

Remembering can cause forgetting: retrieval dynamics in long-term memory

TL;DR: 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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neural Systems Underlying the Suppression of Unwanted Memories

TL;DR: Functional magnetic resonance imaging is used to identify the neural systems involved in keeping unwanted memories out of awareness and establish a neurobiological model for guiding inquiry into motivated forgetting.
Journal ArticleDOI

Suppressing unwanted memories by executive control

TL;DR: It is shown that executive control processes not uniquely tied to trauma may provide a viable model for repression, and that this cognitive act has enduring consequences for the rejected memories.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rethinking interference theory: Executive control and the mechanisms of forgetting.

TL;DR: In this article, it is argued that forgetting is not a passive side effect of storing new memories, but results from inhibitory control mechanisms recruited to override prepotent responses, and the relation between this executive control theory of forgetting and classical accounts of interference is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

On the status of inhibitory mechanisms in cognition: Memory retrieval as a model case

TL;DR: It is argued that inhibitory processes are used to resolve computational problems of selection common to memory retrieval and selective attention and that retrieval is best regarded as conceptually focused selective attention.
