Abstract

Retrieval-induced forgetting implies that repeatedly retrieving a subset of previously studied items can cause forgetting of related non-retrieved material. The present study was designed to investigate the effect of negative emotion on retrieval-induced forgetting(RIF). Two experiments were conducted with 189 volunteers. The emotional valence within lists was manipulated as attaching emotional adjectives on neutral words in each category. Participants studied words from total 6 categories and it consisted of neutral and emotional stimuli in each category. And then they repeatedly retrieved a subset of the neutral material. Later, a recall test was conducted for all previously studied items. When participants studied neutral and negative stimuli in one category and then only repeatedly retrieved a subset of the neutral material (RP+), retrieval practice on the neutral items caused effect of the retrieval-induced forgetting on the emotional stimuli (RP-). Namely, the emotional valence had a different effect on retrieval-induced forgetting across RP+ and RP- conditions. And the effect systemically varied with the intensity of emotionality in the lists.
