TLDR
In this paper, a theoretical framework that integrates distinctive-relational processing theory with revised generation-recognition theory was proposed to predict directed forgetting in both implicit and explicit retention tests that provided the same stimulus conditions.Abstract:
Directed forgetting has been studied by instructing Ss to forget either (a) an initial list or (b) individually selected words. Differential encoding was hypothesized to be responsible for word-method directed forgetting, and retrieval inhibition for list-method directed forgetting. In Experiments 1 and 2, directed forgetting was observed in recognition with the word method but not with the list method. Release from directed forgetting occurred in final recall after recognition but only with the list method. These results are interpreted in terms of a theoretical framework that integrates distinctive-relational processing theory with revised generation-recognition theory. In Experiments 1-3, predictions from that framework were generally well supported on implicit and explicit retention tests that provided the same stimulus conditionsread more

TL;DR: It is not always advantageous to hold self-perceptions that correspond perfectly with reality, but increasing awareness of nonconscious motives and personality is generally beneficial.

Interference and inhibition in memory retrieval.
TL;DR: This chapter illustrates how forgetting might be linked to inhibitory processes underlying selective attention, according to a new perspective that builds upon insights from modern work, while validating intuitions underlying several of the classical interference mechanisms.

A contextual change account of the directed forgetting effect.
Lili Sahakyan,Colleen M. Kelley +1 more
TL;DR: The authors propose that the costs and benefits of directed forgetting in the list method result from an internal context change that occurs between the presentations of 2 lists in response to a "forget" instruction.

TL;DR: The results bring together the major findings concerning directed forgetting and support a method-based theoretical distinction.

TL;DR: The authors investigated the possibility that assessment of confidence is biased by attempts to justify one's chosen answer and disregarding evidence contradicting it, and found that only the listing of contradicting reasons improved the appropriateness of confidence.

TL;DR: The experiments that are reported were designed to explore the relationship between the more aware autobiographical form of memory that is measured by a recognition memory test and the less aware form ofMemory that is expressed in perceptual learning.

TL;DR: The article reviews research on the relation between explicit and implicit memory and argues that many dissociations can be understood by appealing to general principles that apply to both implicit and explicit tests.
