Forgetting precise events from our past apprise be either intentionally or unintentionally, as it label suggested directed forgetting and recuperation-induced forgetting, respectively (Barnier et al., 2004).Retrieval-induced forgetting (RIF) is firstly investigated by Anderson, Bjork, and Bjork (1994). They define the problem of forgetting non in term of capacity or real forgetting problem but accessibility problem because of retrieving some of facts more than the others. To test which items not to be retrieved, they use retrieval-induced paradigm in which is composed of three special phase. In the original version of paradigm, they use word and associative motivates such as fruit, vegetables, or car brands. Participants are first exposed to word pairs with proper(postnominal) cue and then they are shown half of items from one of the presented cue and then tested to retrieve all items. Consistent purpose for different material among several studies show that practicing particular item inhibits sharing cue item thitherfore it is less likely remembered than un recitationd category (Murayama, Miyatsu, Buchli, Storm, 2014, for check out). RIF effect has been exhibit for different materials such as lexical cues (Bajo, Gomez-Ariza, Fernandez, Marful, 2006), pictures (Ford et al., 2004), videos (Miguelez Garcia-Bajos, 2007) and so forth.Effect of emotion on retrieval-induced forgetting has two main questions (Bauml, Pasttter, Hanslmayr, 2010). First is about accredited emotional state of partici pants. Retrieval practice of either positive or indifferent emotion-induced participants tend to forget more non-practiced and shared cue items than veto mood induced participants (Bauml, Pasttter, Hanslmayr, 2010 Bauml and Kuhbandner, 2007). Bauml and Kuhbandner (2007) find empirical evidence for ostracize state effect in which exposing cast out mood during retrieval practice results in lacking of inhibition. Therefore, they remember more non-practice material from practiced category. uncomplete emotional material nor autobiographical memory gain rather low attendance but Barnier and his colleagues (2004) are firstly attempted to use ones personal memory as a material for RIF paradigm recently. However, there are controversial findings about an effect of mood on unintentional forgetting resulting from retrieval practice. For example, Barnier and his colleagues (2004) find that participants tend only to forget neutral stimulus, words, rather than emotional positive and negat ive one when they manipulate participants describe autobiographical memory as positive, neutral, and negative. In other words, retrieval-induced forgetting effect occurs only for neutral stimulus. Another arranged finding about remembering or forgetting emotional stimuli and investigating eagerness of all(prenominal) stimuli show similar results with preceding(prenominal) mentioned experiment (Kuhbandner, Bauml, Stiedl, 2009). However, Harris, Sharman, Barnier, and Moulds (2010) find positivity diagonal toward emotional material of autobiographical memory with dysphoric patients. Hauer and Wessel (2006) also find consistently positivity bias in which means remembering more positive memory than negative memory with an addition of genuine RIF effect in their first experiment.Since RIF effect is considered as resulting from inhibition (see Storm Levy, 2012, for review), examining the effect for people who have mood-induced disorders like post-traumatic stress disorder (posttra umatic stress disorder, Amir, Badour, Freese, 2009) and major depression (Groome Sterkaj, 2010) is crucial to investigate effect of mood on RIF effect. Amir and his colleagues (2009) implement the paradigm to PTSD group and either non-trauma exposed group or trauma exposed group. They find the difference between both of control groups and PTSD group in a way that PTSD patients cannot have an ability to inhibit irrelevant material so they do not demonstrate RIF effect.In moving in with this background, kindleed autobiographical memories by participants with regard to each emotion-induced words getting from PANAS (Watson, Clark, Tellegen, 1988) exit be used as manipulation across participants and it entrust hypothesized that memories included negativity provide be more impacted from RIF effect based on Harris and colleagues (2010) and Wessel and Hauer (2006) findings. Dependent variable of presented study provide be the fact that which material pass on be remembered and whi ch of them will not be retrieved. Further analysis will be made in terms of emotional ingredients of each emotion. Since population attending this experiment does not have any mood-related disorder, lack of inhibition for positivity will be less expected.MethodParticipantsParticipants will be recruited from Yeditepe University psychology undergraduate students by the flyer. immoral age of them will be most probably in between nineteen and twenty-two. Each participants report their past history about the fact that whether they experience mood-related disorder in any part of their life. No one reports such experience. And none of the participants have createn memory course since then. certified consent will be taken from them and they will be de briefed about an aim of the experiment at the end.MaterialsModified version of retrieval-induced paradigm which is investigated by Anderson and his colleagues (1994) will be used in this experiment. Modification was made by Barnier and his colleagues (2004) in order to make it applicable to autobiographical memory. In terms of this procedure, participants own past memory that is elicited by them will be used as material. They are willing to report memory in terms of emotional words not just like content or sad but further higher-order emotions like shame and guilty. Since there are extreme controversies about theory of emotion (Ortony Turner, 1990), affective statements in positive and negative affect master (PANAS, Watson et al., 1988) in the context of Turkish statements (Genz, 2000) will be used as category-cue. Turkish version of scale is consisted of twenty affective statement, ten is closed to positive remaining is closed to negative emotional statements, and each participants will be required to elicit a memory for each emotion-included words. These memories will be used as a material for retrieval-induced paradigm. For control condition, each participant will also elicit two memories in terms of give no va lence ergodic word. Since I have enough number of participants, differences between these random words will not be a problem.Procedure look into will consist of four distinct phase based on Barnier and his colleagues (2004) experiment in which firstly investigate autobiographical memory in the RIF paradigm. Elicitation phase will involve that memories will be preserve for each participants orally by using audio recorder. Participants will be required to answer five wh- questions particularizedally. These recording will be transferred into write type by blind people. Rest of the experiment will be conducted a week afterward from elicitation phase. Deception will take place by saying the fact that an aim of the experiment is to investigate emotional valence of past memories of university students. Learning phase of the experiment will take place individually. Each participant will be shown their own memories elicited a week ago. During retrieval practice phase participants will b e half of either exposed to closed-to-positive valence words memory or vice versa randomly. Name of each variable will be used as Anderson and his colleagues (1994) used. At the final phase of the classic retrieval-induced paradigm, each participant will be asked to retrieve all memories. At the end, emotional intensity of each category cue and elicited memories will be collected by 5 type likert scale.Expected resultsIn the first place, relative emotional intensity among each triggered words will be rated to participants by five likert-type scale by attributing 1 to highly negative valence and 5 to extremely positive valence after experimental paradigm will be done. Furthermore, relative emotional intensity of each autobiographical memory will also be rated by participants.Results will be expected in a way that possible action is constructed. Series of one way analysis of variance (ANOVA) will be used to test hypothesis. To begin with, randomly assigned elicited memories in terms of category cue will be manipulated. Each cue will be analyzed within themselves.Finally, closed-to-positive and closed-to-negative memories (10 for each) will be compared to each other. Positivity bias will also be expected consistent with Hauer and Wessel (2006) finding.DiscussionRetrieval-induced forgetting can be said that it has functional importance in terms of different situations such as psychological disorders (Amir et al., 2009). They found lack of inhibition for negative emotional material in PTSD patients. This finding suggests that if neurological basis of RIF can be reliably investigated then PTSD can be figured out by this method. Present study also aims to find specific effect of emotional autobiographical memory on inhibition in which is regarded most probably as close for RIF (Storm Levy, 2012).Investigating an effect of emotion on any construct is one of the hardest but crucial questions. Result of this experiment will give rise to further questions into the fie ld in a way that how each specific emotion-included material affects unintentional forgetting for people.Neurological basis of the RIF as a phenomenon is recently investigated with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI, Kuhl, Dudukovich, Kahn, Wagner, 2007), and electrophysiological methods (Hellerstedt Johansson, 2014). According to Johansson and his colleagues (2007), ERP studies should shed strike first possible correlates of ERP with regard to RIF, and inhibitory mechanisms with regard to individual differences on RIF scores. Further studies about neurological basis of RIF should be accounted for possible specific location activation during retrieval practice in terms of emotional content of the material. I expect special amygdala activation during retrieval practice when negative-correlated stimulus is presented.Reference ListAmir, N., Badour, C. L., Freese, B. (2009).
