6 sources for · 0 against

Substantial empirical research and meta-analytic evidence demonstrate that intentional remembering, retrieval practice, and memory suppression can induce forgetting of related or unpracticed information.

Imagery Rescripting induced transient forgetting of negative autobiographical memories.
2026 · cited by 0
Demonstrates that creating therapeutic imagery requires inhibiting original negative memories, inducing transient forgetting.

The analysis

Multiple empirical studies and a comprehensive meta-analysis (Paper 4) consistently demonstrate that deliberate memory suppression and retrieval processes lead to forgetting of competing or unpracticed memories (often termed suppression-induced forgetting or retrieval-induced forgetting). Papers 2, 5, 7, 8, and 9 further support the mechanisms and behavioral outcomes of intentional remembering and suppression causing subsequent memory decrements. No papers refute the claim.
