Inhibitory control is a fundamental process that enables suppression of representations or
processes that interfere with ongoing cognition and behavior. This chapter reviews the role …

Despite more than a century of evidence that long-term memory for pictures and words are
different, much of what we know about memory comes from studies using words. Recent …

The current studies examined the relative contribution of shape and colour in object
representations in memory. A great deal of evidence points to the significance of shape in …

Recognition-induced forgetting is the category-specific forgetting of pictures that occurs
when a subset of a category of pictures is recognized, leading to forgetting of the remaining …

Recent evidence has shown that practice recognizing certain objects hurts memories of
objects from the same category, a phenomenon called recognition-induced forgetting. In all …

Recognition-induced forgetting is a within-category forgetting effect that results from
accessing memory representations. Advantages of this paradigm include the possibility of …

Intentional forgetting refers to the attempt to marshal top-down control to purposefully forget,
and has been demonstrated in the laboratory using directed forgetting paradigms. Here, we …

A large body of literature agrees that accessing a target memory appears to trigger a
difference-of-Gaussian memory activation pulse under which the target representation is …

The authors report 6 experiments that examined the contention that an end-of-day review
could lead to augmentation in human memory. In Experiment 1, participants in the study …

Accessing memories is often accompanied by both positive and negative consequences.
For example, practice recognizing some visual images held in memory can improve memory …
