Abstract

Weakening negative memories often requires first remembering those events. To bypass this distressing process, Zhu et al. elicited forgetting by subliminally reactivating negative memories near in time to retrieval suppression of unrelated memories. Casting an amnesic shadow over harmful, reactivated memories thereby brings new therapeutic possibilities, and questions, to light.

摘要

削弱负面记忆通常需要先记住这些事件。为了绕过这个痛苦的过程，Zhu 等人通过在提取无关记忆的抑制过程中，在时间上接近地潜意识地重新激活负面记忆，从而诱发了遗忘。给有害的、重新激活的记忆蒙上遗忘的阴影，从而带来了新的治疗可能性和问题。
