====Retrieval inhibition====
[[Retrieval-induced forgetting|Retrieval inhibition]] refers to a memory phenomenon where remembering some information causes forgetting of other information.<ref name="Anderson1">{{cite journal | vauthors = Anderson MC, Bjork RA, Bjork EL | year = 1994 | title = Remembering can cause forgetting: Retrieval dynamics in long-term memory | journal = Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition | volume = 20 | issue = 5| pages = 1063–1087 | doi=10.1037/0278-7393.20.5.1063| pmid = 7931095 |citeseerx=10.1.1.119.3933 }}</ref> Anderson and Green have argued that for a linkage between this phenomenon and memory repression; according to this view, the simple decision to not think about a traumatic event, coupled with active remembering of other related experiences (or less traumatic elements of the traumatic experience) may make memories for the traumatic experience itself less accessible to conscious awareness.<ref name="Anderson2">{{cite journal | vauthors = Anderson MC, Green C | title = Suppressing unwanted memories by executive control | journal = Nature | volume = 410 | issue = 6826 | pages = 366–9 | date = March 2001 | pmid = 11268212 | doi = 10.1038/35066572 | bibcode = 2001Natur.410..366A | s2cid = 4403569 }}</ref> However, two problems with this viewpoint have been raised: (1) the evidence for the basic phenomenon itself has not consistently replicated, and (2) the phenomenon does not meet all criteria that must be met to support memory repression theory, particularly the lack of evidence that this form of forgetting is particularly likely to occur in the case of traumatic experiences.<ref name="Otgaar" />
