在本文中,我们首先认为,这是至关重要的人类忘记,也就是说,有一些方法来防止过时的信息干扰回忆的当前信息。然后,我们认为,实现这种适应性更新的人类记忆的主要手段是检索抑制:信息是呈现过时的新的学习变得不那么可检索,但仍然在记忆中基本上是完整的力量,索引的其他措施,如识别和单词片段完成。我们的结论是,如果先前的事件被遗忘而不是被记住,那么这些事件的某些无意识影响实际上可能会更强。(C)出版社:Academic Press,Inc.
In the present paper, we first argue that it is critical for humans to forget; that is, to have some means of preventing out-of-date information from interfering with the recall of current information. We then argue that the primary means of accomplishing such adaptive updating of human memory is retrieval inhibition: Information that is rendered out of date by new learning becomes less retrievable, but remains at essentially full strength in memory as indexed by other measures, such as recognition and word-fragment completion. We conclude with a speculation that certain unconscious influences of prior events may, in fact, be stronger if those events were to be forgotten rather than to be remembered.
