Direct and Indirect Measures of Intentional Forgetting in Children and Adults: Evidence for Retrieval Inhibition and Reinstatement.
Lehman, Elyse Brauch; And Others
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v64 n2 p295-316 Feb 1997
Elementary and college students completed a cued intentional forgetting task, either a direct or indirect test of word recall, and a final free recall test for both remember- and forget-cued words. In both groups, performance on word-stem completion tasks was enhanced in comparison with an immediate free-recall group, but only for material thought to be irrelevant. (MDM)
