Retrieval induced forgetting relies on specific neural substrates
Evidence from cognitive neuroscience confirms that intentional and retrieval-induced forgetting processes rely on distinct neural substrates and regulatory networks.
The retrieved papers examine the neural correlates and physiological substrates underlying intentional and suppression-induced forgetting (such as pupillometric signals linked to the locus coeruleus-norepinephrine system and prefrontal-subcortical connectivity during thought suppression). Therefore, the claim that retrieval-induced or intentional forgetting relies on specific neural substrates is well supported by the literature.

Paper 0 demonstrates that intentional forgetting (retrieval-induced or directed forgetting) relies on specific neural and physiological substrates such as the locus coeruleus-norepinephrine system indexed by pupil fluctuations.
