Abstract: The present study adopted Retrieral-induced forgetting paradigm, and afternoon nap (1 hour) or distraction task with equal time was inserted between retrieval practice and the final test. Explored influence of the afternoon nap on retrieral-induced forgetting effect through comparing the recall of the nap group and the no-nap group. The result showed that:(1) Correct rate of the recall of Rp-items was significantly lower than the recall of Nrp items in afternoon nap group, thus the retrieral-induced forgetting was found; while, correct rate of the recall of Rp+ items was significantly higher than that of Nrp items, which indicated the retrieval practice effect. (2)There was no significant difference between correct rate of the recall of Rp-and that of Nrp items in afternoon no-nap group, showing that retrieral-induced forgetting effect disappeared after one hour. Therefore, the conclusion suggested that afternoon nap was one of conditions for the retrieval-induced forgetting effect existed chronically. Meanwhile, for the first time to support the episodic inhibition hypothesis from the perspective of short-term sleep.
