The repeated retrieval of a subset of previously learned items can cause forgetting of the
nonretrieved items. The study reported here investigated whether retrieval-induced forgetting …

In multiple-list learning, retrieval during learning has been suggested to improve recall of
the single lists by enhancing list discrimination and, at test, reducing interference. Using …

In the last couple of years, there has been a dramatic increase in laboratory research examining
the benefits of recall testing on long-term learning and retention. This work was largely …

Selectively retrieving episodic information from a cue often induces interference from
related episodes. To promote successful retrieval of the target episode, such interference is …

… Correspondence concerning this article should be addressed to K.-H.… Both the results of
the present study and those of prior work of our group (Bäuml & Kuhbandner, 2003) suggest that …

The goal-directed use of human memory requires that irrelevant or unpleasant memories
are, at least temporarily, reduced in their accessibility and memory for more relevant or …

Selectively retrieving a target memory among related memories requires some degree of
inhibitory control over interfering and competing memories, a process assumed to be …

Voluntary memory suppression can keep unwanted memories from entering consciousness,
inducing later forgetting of the information. In the present study, we searched for the …

In list-method directed forgetting, participants are cued to intentionally forget a previously
studied list (List 1) before encoding a subsequently presented list (List 2). Compared with …

An experiment is reported that examines the role of item strength in output interference.
Subjects studied two types of categorized item lists: lists in which each category consisted of …
