Abstract
In order to achieve the two main objectives of the present work, two experiments were carried out. First, we wanted to replicate the Part List Cuing paradigm (PLC) effect using stereotypical information. Second, we wanted to go more deeply into the mechanisms underlying forgetting that were found in the PLC paradigm. With this aim, the inhibitory hypothesis was contrasted with the hypothesis based on strategy disruption. The results regarding the first objective, replicated the classic effects of the PLC paradigm with stereotypical information. As for the second objective, we found evidence in favour of the strategy disruption hypothesis. The implications of these results are discussed, first, in the context of memory processes and, furthermore, in the context of the mechanisms underlying the maintenance and change of stereotypes.
