The effect of item-based directed forgetting (DF) on recognition memory for categorized word lists was examined. For half of the categories, all studied exemplars were followed by a remember cue; for the other half of the categories, all studied exemplars were followed by a forget cue. In Experiment 1, a 2-alternative forced-choice recognition test showed decreased recognition for to-be-forgotten items. This effect was seen both when the distractor was from the same category as the target requiring discrimination be based on memory for the specific studied exemplars (exemplar test condition) and when the distractor was from a novel category and discrimination could be based on memory for the studied categories (category test condition). In Experiment 2, a yes-no recognition test showed a DF effect not only in higher hit rates for remember-cued targets compared to forget-cued targets, but also in higher false alarm rates for new exemplars from remember-cued compared to forget-cued categories. The effects of intentional forgetting of categorized word lists are seen not only for the studied exemplars but also for the studied categories and the unstudied typical exemplars of these categories. These results pose a theoretical challenge for the attentional inhibition account of DF. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2019 APA, all rights reserved).
研究了基于项目的定向遗忘（DF）对分类单词列表识别记忆的影响。对于一半的类别，所有学习过的示例后面都跟着一个“记住”提示；对于另一半类别，所有学习过的示例后面都跟着一个“忘记”提示。在实验1中，二选一强制选择识别测试表明，对要遗忘项目的识别率降低。当干扰项与需要基于对特定学习示例的记忆进行区分的目标属于同一类别时（示例测试条件），以及当干扰项来自新类别且区分可以基于对学习类别记忆时（类别测试条件），都出现了这种效应。在实验2中，是/否识别测试表明，DF效应不仅表现为与忘记提示的目标相比，记住提示的目标有更高的命中率，而且与忘记提示的类别相比，记住提示的类别中新示例有更高的误报率。对分类单词列表的有意遗忘效应不仅在学习过的示例中可见，在学习过的类别以及这些类别的未学习过的典型示例中也可见。这些结果对DF的注意抑制解释提出了理论挑战。（《心理学文摘数据库记录》（c）2019美国心理学会，保留所有权利）
