To explore the mechanism and development of directed forgetting effect, totally 104 subjects from grade 2 and 5 and college participated in a directed forgetting task, in which used a blocked cuing procedure.

The research for directed forgetting has become one of cognition psychology research hot spots aftter more than 30-year researching .

The Research on Relation of Working Memory Capacity and Cognitive Inhibition Ability of Intentional Forgetting;

The results showed that there is a significant intentional forgetting effect in employee selection.

The result was as follows: Both the single words and the couple words showed the development of inhibition of intentional forgetting of the pupils; There existed significant difference between the two items of the single words and the couple words for the pupils in different grades, whic.

This research employs the self-reference effect paradigm and the list method of directed forgetting, to study the directed forgetting under self- referential processing and other-referential processing conditions.

The study ofdirected forgetting is another experimental pattern of memorystudy, it is an effective way about thinking control research.

With directed forgetting in the learning phase and part-list cueing in the testing phase,the mechanism of false memories was investigated in the DRM paradigm.

The New Development of Directed Forgetting

Whether the word method or the list method,both generally used by directed forgetting research is better still remains a controversial issue.

The directed forgetting effect has been well verified in many researches using traditional tasks(explicit memory tests).
