A prominent theory of cognitive development attributes the poor performance that children show in many cognitive tasks to a general lack of inhibitory control We tested this theory by examining children's inhibitory capabilities m retrieval-induced forgetting (RIF), a memory task in which selective retrieval of previously studied material causes forgetting of related, nonretrieved material Such forgetting is often attributed to inhibitory control processes, which supposedly suppress the nonretrieved items' memory representation We examined RIF in kindergartners, second graders, and adults, using both recall and recognition testing Although all three age groups showed significant RIF in recall, only adults and second graders, but not kindergartners, showed RIF in recognition Because inhibition-based RIF should be present in recall and recognition, these findings indicate that in adults and second graders, but not m kindergartners, RIF is mediated by inhibition The results support the view of inefficient inhibitory processes in young children's cognition.
