  2. Motivated forgetting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motivated_forgetting

    Motivated forgetting is a theorized psychological behavior in which people may forget unwanted memories, either consciously or unconsciously. [1] It is an example of a defence mechanism, since these are unconscious or conscious coping techniques used to reduce anxiety arising from unacceptable or potentially harmful impulses thus it can be a defence mechanism in some ways.

  3. Memory inhibition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_inhibition

    In the face of behaviorism during the late 1920s through the 1950s, and through the early growth of cognitive psychology in the late 1950s and early 1960s, [8] inhibition largely disappeared as a theory. [1] Instead, classical interference theory dominated memory research until as late as 1960. [5]

  4. Methods used to study memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methods_used_to_study_memory

    In order to fully understand memory, researchers must cumulate evidence from human, animal, and developmental research in order to make broad theories about how memory works. Intraspecies comparisons are key. Rats for example display extremely complex behaviours and most of the structures in their brain parallel those in humans.

  5. Cognitive inhibition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_inhibition

    This motivated forgetting caused by cognitive inhibition would have been necessary in the past to maintain the crucial relationship between child and caregiver so that the child would survive; therefore, cognitive inhibition has endured through evolution. For example, a parent or caregiver may have been abusive physically or emotionally to a ...

  6. Retrospective memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retrospective_memory

    This is also referred to as motivated forgetting. [1] An unusual form of motivated forgetting is called psychogenic amnesia in which a very severe emotional stressor causes one to lose a large amount of personal memories without an observable biological cause. [1] Another reaction to a very severe stressor is called post traumatic stress ...

  7. Thought suppression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thought_suppression

    Ironic control theory, also known as "ironic process theory", states that thought suppression "leads to an increased occurrence of the suppressed content in waking states". [36] The irony lies in the fact that although people try not to think about a particular subject, there is a high probability that it will appear in one's dreams regardless.

  8. Deese–Roediger–McDermott paradigm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deese–Roediger...

    The Deese–Roediger–McDermott (DRM) paradigm is a procedure in cognitive psychology used to study false memory in humans. The procedure was pioneered by James Deese in 1959, but it was not until Henry L. Roediger III and Kathleen McDermott extended the line of research in 1995 that the paradigm became popular.
