| contents | Working memory resources and interference in directed forgetting María Felipa Soriano María Teresa Bajo Psicología Recent research has shown that the ability to inhibit irrelevant information isrelated to Working Memory (WM) capacity. In three experiments, weexplored this relationship by using a list-method directed-forgetting task(DF) in participants varying in WM capacity. Contrary to predictions, inExperiment 1, DF effects were only found for participants with low WMcapacity, whereas high WM capacity participants did not show this effect.This unexpected pattern of results was explained as due to the differentialsusceptibility to interference of high and low span participants. InExperiments 2 and 3, interference was increased by introducing a memoryload between the to-be-forgotten and the to-be-remembered list (Experiment2) and by increasing the list length (Experiment 3). In these conditions ofhigh interference, the pattern of results was reversed so that DF effects wereobtained for the high span group and they were not present for the low spangroup. The reversal of the effect for the high and low WM capacity groupdepending on the degree of interference suggests that inhibition in the DFprocedure depends on both: the degree of interference experienced by theparticipants, and the availability of controlled resources. 2007 artículo científico 0211-2159 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=16928104 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=169 Psicológica application/pdf Universitat de València Psicológica (España) Num.1 Vol.28 |
