In list-method directed forgetting, participants are cued to intentionally forget a previously studied list (List 1) before encoding a subsequently presented list (List 2). Compared with remember-cued participants, forget-cued participants typically show impaired recall of List I and improved recall of List 2, referred to as List I forgetting and List 2 enhancement. In 3 experiments, we examined how amount of postcue encoding influences directed forgetting. Two results emerged dissociating List I forgetting from List 2 enhancement. First, an increase in amount of postcue encoding led to an increase in List I forgetting but did not affect List 2 enhancement. Second, the forget cue influenced all List I items but affected only early List 2 items. A 2-mechanism account of directed forgetting is suggested, according to which List I forgetting reflects reduced accessibility of List I items, and List 2 enhancement arises from a reset of encoding processes.
