...This finding may differ from that reported by Sahakyan et al. (2008) with the directed forgetting procedure, perhaps because the Think/No-Think task confronts participants with strong cues to well learned responses that may create a more challenging control task....

...…indicates that older adults sometimes are less able to intentionally forget a first list of memory items when given an instruction to forget followed by a second list (Sahakyan et al., 2008; Zacks, Radvanksy, & Hasher, 1996; however, see Zellner & Bäuml, 2006; Sego, Goldin, & Gottlob, 2006)....

...It remains unclear, however, whether the reduced forgetting for older adults observed in the directed forgetting procedure reflects an inhibition deficit, or a tendency, on the part of older adults, to simply not try to forget because they feel they do not need to (Sahakyan et al., 2008)....

...Some researchers argued that older adults have difficulty binding different components of information into a coherent, distinctive unit, leading to more impoverished and fragmented episodic representations (e.g., Chalfonte & Johnson, 1996; Naveh-Benjamin, 2000)....

...In contrast, list-method directed forgetting somehow reduces access to to-be-forgotten items at test (E. L. Bjork & Bjork, 1996, 2003; R. A. Bjork, 1989; but see Benjamin, 2006; Sheard & MacLeod, 2005), and several retrieval-based mechanisms have been proposed....

...…learning (e.g., Geiselman, Bjork, & Fishman, 1983; Sahakyan & Delaney, 2005; Sahakyan, Delaney, & Waldum, 2008), some researchers propose that directed forgetting is due to inhibition at the time of retrieval (e.g., E. L. Bjork & Bjork, 1996, 2003; R. A. Bjork, 1989; Geiselman et al., 1983)....

...Bjork & Bjork, 1996), or from contextual differentiation between the lists (Sahakyan & Kelley, 2002). The strategy change account attributes enhanced List 2 recall in the forget group to the choice of better encoding strategies (Sahakyan & Delaney, 2003, 2005). In the current studies, either account can potentially explain the absence of benefits in either age group. We suspect that the choice of related materials partly accounts for our failure to detect the benefits. In one of their studies, Zellner and Bäuml (2006) also reported nonsignificant benefits in either age group with semantically related lists....

...For example, R. A. Bjork (1989) argued that instructions to forget initiate a process that at the time of retrieval blocks or inhibits access to List 1 items, producing directed forgetting costs....

...For example, we argued that list-method directed forgetting arises from the mismatch of study and test contexts (e.g., Sahakyan & Kelley, 2002); others argued for an inhibitory explanation (e.g., R. A. Bjork, 1989)....
