We investigated influences of item generation and emotional valence on retrieval-induced forgetting. Drawing on postulates of the three-factor theory of generation effects, generation tasks differentially affecting the processing of inter-item relations were applied. Whereas retrieval-induced forgetting of freely generated items was moderated by the emotional valence as well as retrieval-induced forgetting of read items, even though in the reverse direction (Experiment 1), fragment completion eliminated the moderation of retrieval-induced forgetting by emotional valence (Experiment 2). The results corroborate the assumption that the processing of inter-item relations is crucial for the immunization against retrieval-induced forgetting. Moreover, differential processing of inter-item relations may clarify the mixed results on moderating factors of retrieval-induced forgetting that have been reported.
我们研究了项目生成和情绪效价对提取诱发遗忘的影响。基于生成效应三因素理论的假设，应用了对项目间关系加工有不同影响的生成任务。尽管自由生成项目的提取诱发遗忘和阅读项目的提取诱发遗忘受情绪效价调节的方向相反（实验1），但片段完成消除了情绪效价对提取诱发遗忘的调节作用（实验2）。结果证实了这样的假设，即项目间关系的加工对于抵御提取诱发遗忘至关重要。此外，项目间关系的差异加工可能解释了已报道的关于提取诱发遗忘调节因素的混合结果。
