title = "Current Perspectives on Directed Forgetting",
abstract = "This chapter reviews updated Directed Forgetting (DF) research, reflecting significant changes in the field. It is divided into four sections, beginning with methodologies of item-method and list-method DF and their measurement challenges. The next section addresses how people respond to directed forgetting cues by implementing forgetting strategies, suggesting a shift towards controlled processes. Subsequent sections summarize empirical and theoretical developments, indicating a paradigm shift that has taken place in DF theorizing—namely, list-method DF, once attributed to retrieval inhibition is now considered by some to reflect a context-change phenomenon, whereas item-method DF, previously explained by selective rehearsal processes is now being reevaluated for encoding inhibition and contextual unbinding processes. Such views provide a radical departure from the ways that DF has been interpreted previously, and they highlight how conceptualizing about DF has evolved in light of newer research methodologies and findings.",
