“…Converging evidence for attention dependence comes from populations believed to have reduced inhibitory control. Evidence suggests that RIF is selectively abolished in attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) (Storm & White, 2010), schizophrenia (Soriano et al, 2009), obsessive-compulsive disorder (Demeter et al, 2014), clinical depression (Groome & Sterkaj, 2010), and alcohol/substance use disorder (Strammacia et al 2017), even while facilitation of practiced items is preserved (although often only when output interference is controlled for, see Correlated Costs & Benefits section). Similar findings arise for young children and older adults (over 75yrs) (Aslan & Bäuml, 2012).…”

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 of such control processes in causing forgetting from long-term memory. We consider several functional contexts that trigger inhibitory control, including the need to selectively retrieve information, and the need to stop retrieval. These give rise to retrieval-induced forgetting and suppression-induced forgetting, respectively. We review the extensive cognitive and neurobiological work conducted over the last three decades on how inhibitory control induces forgetting in these contexts, including work establishing its fundamental functional properties, neural mechanisms underlying them, and recent work establishing the species- generality of the phenomena. Taken together, this work illustrates the adaptive function of inhibition in overcoming interference that can arise during memory retrieval, and in adapting the state of memory in accordance with current behavioral goals.

“…Over the last few decades, several paradigms have been developed to address how intentional forgetting arises in different cognitive systems and contexts (e.g., Anderson & Green, 2001 ; Barnier et al, 2007 ; Fawcett, Taylor, & Nadel, 2013a , 2013b ; Joslyn & Oakes, 2005 ). These paradigms have been used to understand how intentional forgetting changes during normal aging (e.g., Anderson, Reinholz, Kuhl, & Mayr, 2011 ; Titz & Verhaeghen, 2010 ; Murray, Muscatell, & Kensinger, 2011 ), is impaired through disease or disorder (e.g., Demeter, Keresztes, Harsányi, Csigó, & Racsmány, 2014 ; El Haj, Postal, Le Gall, & Allain, 2011 ; Wilhelm, McNally, Baer, & Florin, 1996 ), and can be employed to suppress memories of trauma (e.g., Catarino et al, 2015 ; Küpper, Benoit, Dalgleish, & Anderson, 2014 ) or to maintain a positive self-image by suppressing memories of personal dishonesty (e.g., Shu, Gino, Bazerman, 2011 ). These paradigms have also been used to reveal interactions of motivated forgetting with attention (e.g., Fawcett & Taylor, 2010 ; Taylor, 2005 ; Taylor & Fawcett, 2011 ) and emotion (e.g., McNally, 2003 ; Payne & Corrigan, 2007 ; Quinlan & Taylor, 2014 ) and the implementation of purposeful forgetting within episodic and autobiographical memory systems (e.g., Fawcett et al, 2013a , 2013b ; Joslyn & Oakes, 2005 ; Noreen & MacLeod, 2014 ; Stephens, Braid, & Hertel, 2013 ).…”

We investigated whether intentional forgetting impacts only the likelihood of later retrieval from long-term memory or whether it also impacts the fidelity of those representations that are successfully retrieved. We accomplished this by combining an item-method directed forgetting task with a testing procedure and modeling approach inspired by the delayed-estimation paradigm used in the study of visual short-term memory (STM). Abstract or concrete colored images were each followed by a remember (R) or forget (F) instruction and sometimes by a visual probe requiring a speeded detection response (E1–E3). Memory was tested using an old–new (E1–E2) or remember-know-no (E3) recognition task followed by a continuous color judgment task (E2–E3); a final experiment included only the color judgment task (E4). Replicating the existing literature, more “old” or “remember” responses were made to R than F items and RTs to postinstruction visual probes were longer following F than R instructions. Color judgments were more accurate for successfully recognized or recollected R than F items (E2–E3); a mixture model confirmed a decrease to both the probability of retrieving the F items as well as the fidelity of the representation of those F items that were retrieved (E4). We conclude that intentional forgetting is an effortful process that not only reduces the likelihood of successfully encoding an item for later retrieval, but also produces an impoverished memory trace even when those items are retrieved; these findings draw a parallel between the control of memory representations within working and long-term memory.

“…Descriptive statistics of questionnaires on gambling were computed to describe the clinical sample (see Table 2). For the RPP, in line with previous research (e.g., Demeter et al, 2014;Stramaccia et al, 2017b), beneficial (facilitation) and detrimental (RIF) effects of selective retrieval practice were analyzed separately by examining percentage of correct recall in the test phase as a function of item type. Facilitation was analyzed by means of a mixed-design ANOVA with group (GD group vs. HC group) as a between-participant factor and item type (RPþ vs. NRPþ items) as a withinparticipant factor.…”

Background and aimsMany psychopathologies, including addictions, are characterized by inhibitory control deficits. In this regard, recent studies on substance-related disorders (SRD) have shown an impairment in the ability to inhibit potentially interfering memories, despite preserved motor inhibition. To investigate whether the same dissociation could also characterize gambling disorder (GD) in a transdiagnostic perspective, we tested both cognitive and motor inhibitory processes through dedicated tasks, for the first time in this behavioral addiction.Methods30 outpatients with GD and 30 healthy controls performed a go/no-go task addressing the integrity of motor inhibition, and the Retrieval Practice Paradigm, a task addressing the integrity of memory inhibition as indexed by the Retrieval-Induced Forgetting (RIF) effect. Self-report questionnaires assessing impulsivity were also administered.ResultsWhereas RIF was similar across the two groups, patients showed more commission errors in the go/no-go task, and higher self-rated scores of impulsivity than controls.DiscussionThe present findings suggest preserved memory inhibition and impaired motor response inhibition in GD, a pattern of inhibitory deficits opposite to that previously reported for SRD. Therefore, although both GD and SRD are characterized by altered inhibitory processing, a more fine-grained analysis revealed a specific inhibitory profile indicating vulnerability in different inhibitory components.ConclusionThe present study highlights the need to investigate the multifaceted construct of inhibition more thoroughly, using performance measures able to assess its various components. This approach would enable to both better characterize different psychopathologies and orient their treatment.
