The Retrieval-Induced Forgetting (RIF) paradigm is used to study how the repeated retrieval practice of particular memories impairs the retrieval of related memory traces. A study is reported where this automatic form of forgetting was investigated in a group of sexual-assault victims and a control group. Using a recognition-cued RIF task, the present study examined RIF with neutral, positive, negative and trauma-specific stimuli. Response time data showed that irrespective of previous trauma exposure, a RIF effect was observed for neutral material, but not for emotional material. No differences in RIF between the trauma group and the control group were found. Inconsistencies with previous literature and the implications for emotional memory are discussed.
提取诱发遗忘（RIF）范式用于研究重复检索特定记忆如何损害相关记忆痕迹的检索。报告了一项研究，该研究在一组性侵犯受害者和对照组中调查了这种自动遗忘形式。本研究使用识别提示的 RIF 任务，检查了中性、积极、消极和创伤特异性刺激的 RIF。反应时间数据表明，无论先前是否经历过创伤，中性材料都会出现 RIF 效应，但情绪材料则不会。在 RIF 方面，创伤组与对照组之间没有差异。讨论了与先前文献的不一致之处以及对情绪记忆的影响。
