Can encoding differences explain the benefits of directed forgetting in the list method paradigm?
Article Abstract:
The phenomenon of directed forgetting is examined in terms of the encoding strategies used by the subjects while performing the task. It is suggested that while change in context explains the costs of directed forgetting, the benefits seem to be the result of the subjects changing from a shallow to a deep encoding strategy, apparently in response to a change in mental context.
