- Abstract
- The aim of the present thesis is to investigate whether the inhibition theory provides a better explanation for the retrieval-induced forgetting effect than the strength-based models. We examine the three main properties of the inhibition theory and conclude that inhibition is not necessary to explain retrieval-induced forgetting and hence forgetting can still be explained without recourse to the concept of inhibition.
