ROLES OF REHEARSAL AND RETRIEVAL INHIBITION ON INTENTIONAL FORGETTING
复述、提取抑制与有意遗忘的实验研究

In the intentional forgetting paradigm,after material had been presented for study,subjects were instructed to remember some of them and forget the remainder.Considerabe research showed that remember-cued items were recalled more thanforget-cued items. There were mainly two theories to explain the result:encoding-basedtheory and retrieval inhibition theory.ms research aimed at investigating the roles ofencoding elaboration and retrieval inhibition on intentional forgetting.In the experimentundergraduate students were given an item-by-item cued study task,either a direct(cued recall word-stem completion)or an indirect test (repetition priming word-stemcompletion),and a final recognition test. Two new methods were introduced into theresearch: one was carefully controlled word-stem completion with computer, and theother was so-called unrelated items. By comparing memory of unrelated items withremember-and forget-cued iterns,the result indicated that selective rehearsal and retrievalinhibition played roles on intentional forgetting.
