Anderson 和 Green (2001) 让受试者学习配对的同事，然后有选择地抑制对其中一些人的反应。他们报告说，受试者被指示不要思考的反应的最终提示回忆有所减少，并将他们的数据解释为认知抑制（一种实验室模拟的压抑）的结果。我们报告了三个旨在复制抑制/抑制结果的实验。在受试者学习了一系列 A-B 单词对（例如，ordeal-roach）后，他们被要求在提示 1、8 或 16 次时对某些项目做出反应，而不要考虑其他项目。在最终的回忆测试中，他们被提示使用相同的（直接）探针（ordeal-___）或独立（间接）探针（insect-r___）。我们的实验均未通过相同或独立的探针测试显示出可靠的抑制效果。在思考/不思考范式中，抑制显然不是一个强有力的实验现象。
Anderson and Green (2001) had subjects learn paired associates and then selectively suppress responses to some of them. They reported a decrease in final cued recall for responses that subjects had been instructed not to think of and explained their data as resulting from cognitive suppression, a laboratory analog of repression. We report three experiments designed to replicate the suppression/repression results. After subjects learned a series of A-B word pairs (e.g., ordeal-roach), they were then asked to respond to some items and not to think of other items when shown their cues 1, 8, or 16 times. During a final recall test, they were cued with either a same (direct) probe (ordeal-___) or an independent (indirect) probe (insect-r____). None of our experiments showed reliable suppression effects with either the same or independent-probe tests. Suppression is apparently not a robust experimental phenomenon in the think/no-think paradigm.
