Intentional remembering creates retrieval-induced forgetting

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that intentional remembering creates retrieval-induced forgetting?

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

Verdict: SUPPORTED · 6 sources for, 0 against · Last checked

The analysis

Multiple empirical studies and a comprehensive meta-analysis (one study) 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.
