参与者学习描述两个不同角色的句子,然后被告知只忘记其中一个角色的句子。第二个列表包含归因于第三个字符的句子。随后,他们接受了关于原始两个字符的句子的回忆测试。当这些句子可以被主题整合时,相对于从未被告知要忘记的对照组,参与者没有表现出定向遗忘。然而,对于不相关的句子,参与者选择性地忘记了目标人物的句子,而没有忘记其他人物的句子。这种选择性定向遗忘效应是一个新的实验结果。我们认为这一结果与Rumbersky(1999)关于文本材料抑制的观点是一致的。
Participants studied sentences describing two different characters and then were told to forget the sentences about only one of the characters. A second list contained sentences attributed to a third character. Subsequently, they received a recall test on the sentences about the original two characters. When the sentences could be thematically integrated, participants showed no directed forgetting relative to a control group that was never told to forget. However, with unrelated sentences, participants selectively forgot the target character's sentences without forgetting the other character's sentences. This selective directed forgetting effect is a novel empirical result. We interpret the results as consistent with Radvansky's (1999) ideas about inhibition with textual materials.
