Resumen
[EN]Retrieval-induced forgetting (RIF) has been stud ied with different types of tests and materials. However, RIF
has always been tested on the items’ central features, and there
is no information on whether inhibition also extends to pe ripheral features of the events in which the items are embed ded. In two experiments, we specifically tested the presence of
RIF in a task in which recall of peripheral information was
required. After a standard retrieval practice task oriented to
item identity, participants were cued with colors (Exp. 1) or
with the items themselves (Exp. 2) and asked to recall the
screen locations where the items had been displayed during
the study phase. RIF for locations was observed after retrieval
practice, an effect that was not present when participants were
asked to read instead of retrieving the items. Our findings
provide evidence that peripheral location information associ ated with an item during study can be also inhibited when the
retrieval conditions promote the inhibition of more central,
item identity information.
