Availability in Memory of Items that are Cued to be Forgotten

Abstract

This experiment is concerned with the availability of forget items and how to-be-remembered and to-be-forgotten material is processed. The. increase in the number of forget words that were recalled when a retrieval cue was used and when a retrieval cue was not used in both a blocked and unblocked condition was examined. A completely randomized two by two by two analysis of variance along with four planned comparisons between the remember and forget words without a retrieval cue, between the remember and forget words with a retrieval cue, between the forget words with and without a retrieval cue in the unblocked condition, and between the remember words with and without a retrieval cue in the unblocked condition were performed.
