Outline of Final Research Achievements

In cognitive psychology, it is considered that both unconscious/ automatic processing and intentional/ conscious processing play an important roles in the human mind. Especially, there have been lots of researches emphasizing on automatic processing. On the other hand, people usually feel to control their own mind, but sometimes there are situations which they cannot control one’s own memory and thought, for example, intrusive thought enters into our consciousness though we don’t want to think about it. In this project, we sought to elucidate the mechanism of cognitive control, mainly based on memory suppression, intentional forgetting. Eventually, we found that people can suppress their unwanted memory and that the prefrontal cortex is important in the control process.
