• Reinterpreting Time in Fit Theory: Crafting and Recrafting Narratives of Fit in Medias Res (2011, background): “In this sense, the fit narrative will remain intact despite major changes because the individual represses or suppresses perceptions (Anderson & Green, 2001), thereby prohibiting these events from entering the fit narrative.”
• In Opposition to Inhibition (2003, methodology): “To understand this, we turn to a study by Anderson and Spellman (1995; see also Anderson & Green, 2001). Because members of the same category had to be recalled together, it could be argued that the practiced exemplars interfere with the unpracticed exemplars within a category, which clearly cannot ”
• Memory as a self-protective mechanism (2009, background): “It is also anchored in contemporary findings that forgetting can be induced intentionally (Anderson & Green, 2001; Macrae, Bodenhausen, Milne, & Ford, 1997).”
• Rethinking inhibition theory: On the problematic status of the inhibition theory for forgetting (2013, methodology): “A more extensive attempt at replication of the Anderson and Green (2001) results was undertaken by Bulevich, Roediger, Balota, and Butler (2006).”
• Theoretical issues in inhibition: Insights from research on human memory. (2007, background): “Similarly, doing retrieval practice on the meanings of asymmetric homographs results in significant impairment for the dominant meaning, but not for the subordinate meaning (Shivde & Anderson, 2001).”
• The Common Neural Basis of Exerting Self-Control in Multiple Domains (2009, neutral): “…inhibition section, the think/no-think paradigm was modeled a er the go/no-go paradigm; both no-go and no-think conditions require overriding the natural tendency to either respond to a stimulus or to retrieve the previously studied target word associated with a cue word (Anderson & Green, 2001).”
• The Role of Inhibitory Control in Forgetting Unwanted Memories: A Consideration of Three Methods (2005, methodology): “Anderson and Green (2001) looked at this issue by examining how stopping retrieval affected the memories that were to be retrieved.”
• Cognition and Depression: Current Status and Future Directions (2010, methodology): “These authors used a paradigm that was originally proposed by Anderson & Green (2001).”
• Forgotten but not gone: the recall and recognition of self-threatening memories (2008, neutral): “…can be intentionally induced (explanations for which include retrieval inhibition, selective search, and selective rehearsal: Anderson, 2001; Anderson & Green, 2001; Bjork, 1989; Geiselman, Bjork, & Fishman, 1983; Levy & Anderson, 2002; Macrae, Bodenhausen, Milne , & Ford, 1997; Roediger &…”
• Suppressing Unwanted Memories (2009, methodology): “To study how people stop retrieval, Anderson and Green (2001) developed a procedure modeled after the go/no-go task, a paradigm designed to investigate motor stopping.”
• The state of betrayal trauma theory: Reply to McNally—Conceptual issues, and future directions (2007, background): “Using the think/no-think paradigm, Anderson and Green (2001) extended this work by demonstrating that active inhibition (suppression) leads to reduced ability to recall previously formed memories.”
• Imaginary relish and exquisite torture: the elaborated intrusion theory of desire. (2005, neutral): “Although there is evidence that recall can be inhibited by prior practice of recall suppression (Anderson & Green, 2001), very different effects are obtained from suppression of highly available material that has already been retrieved.”
• Memory for Emotional and Nonemotional Events in Depression: A Question of Habit? (2004, methodology): “To document effects of direct suppression on individual items, Anderson and Green (2001) developed the "thinklno-think" procedure.”
