Preferred term

list-method directed forgetting paradigm  

Definition(s)

  • A method for the study of directed forgetting. "In this task, subjects study two lists of items. Critically, after study of the first list, subjects are cued to remember the list for a later test or to forget the list, pretending that it is no longer relevant and can be forgotten. After study of the second list, memory for both lists is tested, irrespective of original cuing." (Abel et al., 2021, p. 1677).
