The memory literature has identified interference and inhibition as two major sources of forgetting. While interference is generally considered to be a passive cause of forgetting arising from exposure to additional information that impedes subsequent recall of target information, inhibition concerns a more active and goal-directed cause of forgetting that can be achieved intentionally. Over the past 25 years, our knowledge of the neural mechanisms underlying both interference-induced and inhibition-induced forgetting has expanded substantially. The present paper gives a critical overview of this research, pointing out empirical gaps in the current work and providing suggestions for future studies.
记忆文献已将干扰和抑制确定为遗忘的两个主要来源。虽然干扰通常被认为是一种被动的遗忘原因，源于接触到额外的信息，这些信息会妨碍对目标信息的后续回忆，但抑制涉及一种更主动、有目标导向的遗忘原因，这种遗忘可以有意实现。在过去25年里，我们对干扰性遗忘和抑制性遗忘背后的神经机制的了解有了大幅扩展。本文对这项研究进行了批判性综述，指出了当前研究中的实证空白，并为未来研究提供了建议。
