Memory retrieval and suppression: The inhibition of situation models

摘要: When people retrieve newly learned facts on a recognition test, they are often increasingly slowed by the number of other that have concept in common with probed fact. This is called fan effect. Assuming using situation models information, author considers whether inhibition competing representations one processes involved Evidence was found for negative priming related but irrelevant models, thus supporting idea highly memory traces used long-term retrieval. As such, this form retrieval-based inhibition.
