Experiment 1 employed the retrieval-practice paradigm to test the effect of AoA on the incidental forgetting that emerges after solving competition during retrieval (i.e., retrieval-induced forgetting, RIF). Standard RIF appeared with late-acquired words, but this effect disappeared with early-acquired words. Experiment 2 evaluated the effect of AoA on intentional forgetting by employing the list-method directed forgetting paradigm. Results showed a standard directed forgetting effect only when the to-be-forgotten words were late-acquired words. These findings point to the prominent role of AoA in forgetting processes.}, organization = {This research was supported by grants from the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness (http://www.mineco.gob.es/portal/site/mineco/?lang_choosen=en) to AM (PSI2013-46033-P), TB (PSI2012-33625), and CJG-A (PSI2011-25797), and from the Ministry of Science (http://www.mineco.gob.es/portal/site/mineco/?lang_choosen=en) (EDU2008-01111) and the Andalusian Government (http://www.juntadeandalucia.es/) (P12-CTS-2369) to TB.}, publisher = {Public Library of Science (PLOS)}, keywords = {Memory}, keywords = {Recall (Memory)}, keywords = {Cognitive impairment}, keywords = {Cognition}, keywords = {Memory consolidation}, keywords = {Experimental design}, keywords = {Inhibitions}, keywords = {Learning}, title = {Forgetting “Novel” but Not “Dragon”: The Role of Age of Acquisition on Intentional and Incidental Forgetting}, doi = {10.1371/journal.pone.0155110}, author = {Marful Quiroga, María Alejandra and Gómez Ariza, Carlos Javier and Barbón, Analia and Bajo Molina, María Teresa}, }
