Robin Law & David Groome (University of Westminster) MINDFULNESS AND RETRIEVAL-INDUCED FORGETTING Robin Law & David Groome (University of Westminster) Retrieval-induced forgetting (RIF) Retrieving a memory trace inhibits the retrieval of rival memory traces (Anderson et al 1994) Mindfulness “Being attentive to and aware of what is taking place in the present” (Brown & Ryan, 2003) Mindfulness thus involves focussing conscious attention on the present moment, and suppressing memories of past events. This process may involve memory inhibition based on a similar mechanism to that found in retrieval-induced forgetting (below). Procedure 87 participants completed three tests: 1. RIF test 2. MAAS Mindfulness Scale 3. State-Trait Anxiety Scale Three different RIF procedures were used, using category cues, letter cues, and recognition cues respectively. Inhibition Trace 1 Cue Trace 2 Retrieval Results Pearson correlations between RIF, State Anxiety, Trait Anxiety, and Mindfulness. Exp. 1 CATEGORY CUED RIF (n = 21) S-Anx T-Anx RIF Mindfulness - .15 - .24 - .17 Exp. 2 LETTER-CUED RIF (n = 31) S-Anx T-Anx RIF Mindfulness - .38* - .54** - .37* Exp. 3 RECOGNITION-CUED RIF (n = 35) S-Anx T-Anx RIF Mindfulness - .13 - .44** - .12 * p < .05 ** p < .01 Conclusions MAAS and RIF (letter-cued) correlate negatively This finding offers no support for the hypothesis that mindfulness involves the same inhibitory process as RIF 2. MAAS and RIF (category-cued & recog-cued) do not correlate significantly. This finding may reflect the fact that these procedures are a poor measure of RIF. 3. Mindfulness correlates negatively with anxiety, as does RIF. So anxiety is unlikely to mediate the inverse RIF/MAAS relationship. 4. The inverse correlation between RIF and MAAS may reflect some other aspect of mindfulness, such as focusing on a target item without generating associates.
