2019, CortexCitation Excerpt :Supporting evidence has also come from studies of “directed forgetting”, in which participants are instructed to forget previously learned words or word lists, but then later tested on their recall (Bjork & Woodward, 1973; Geiselman, Bjork, & Fishman, 1983). While healthy participants typically show a directed forgetting effect (i.e., reduced recall for words in “forget” versus “remember” lists; Conway, Harries, Noyes, Racsmany, & Frankish, 2000), participants with schizophrenia forget fewer words (Racsmány et al., 2008) and this correlates with hallucination severity in patients with AH (Soriano, Jiménez, Román, & Bajo, 2009). Findings such as these have been used to argue for inhibition playing an important role in understanding hallucinations more generally, both clinically (across various modalities and diagnoses), and as a marker for hallucination susceptibility in the general population (Badcock & Hugdahl, 2014; Ford et al., 2014; Jardri et al., 2016).
