A very specific characteristic of rapid action-stopping is \u201cglobal motor suppression\u201d: When a single response is rapidly stopped, there is a broad skeletomotor suppression. This is shown by the technique of TMS placed over a task-irrelevant part of the primary motor cortex (M1) to measure motor-evoked potentials. Here, we used this same TMS method to test if rapidly preventing long-term memory retrieval also shows this broad skeletomotor suppression effect. Twenty human participants underwent a Think\/No-Think task. In the first phase, they learned word pairs. In the second phase, they received the left-hand word as a cue and had to either retrieve the associated right-hand word (\u201cThink\u201d) or stop retrieval (\u201cNo-Think\u201d). At the end of each trial, they reported whether they had experienced an intrusion of the associated memory. Behaviorally, on No-Think trials, they reported fewer intrusions than Think trials, and the reporting of intrusions decreased with practice. Physiologically, we observed that the motor-evoked potential, measured from the hand (which was irrelevant to the task), was reduced on No-Think trials in the time frame of 300\u2013500 msec, especially on trials where they did report an intrusion. This unexpected result contradicted our preregistered prediction that we would find such a decrease on No-Think trials where the intrusion was not reported. These data suggest that one form of executive control over (inappropriate) long-term memory retrieval is a rapid and broad stop, akin to action-stopping, that is triggered by the intrusion itself. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1162\/jocn_a_01642","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,20]],"date-time":"2020-10-20T14:47:55Z","timestamp":1603205275000},"page":"119-128","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1162\/mitpressjournals.corrections.policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Unwanted Memory Intrusions Recruit Broad Motor Suppression"],"prefix":"10.1162","volume":"33","author":[{"given":"Anna","family":"Castiglione","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of California, San Diego"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Adam R.","family":"Aron","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of California, San Diego"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"281","reference":[{"key":"bib1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/35066572"},{"key":"bib2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1146\/annurev-psych-072720-094140"},{"key":"bib3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.clinph.2009.06.027"},{"key":"bib4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1162\/jocn_a_00696"},{"key":"bib5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.bandl.2011.11.006"},{"key":"bib6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/cercor\/bhz017"},{"key":"bib7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/cercor\/bhu324"},{"key":"bib8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.tins.2017.02.006"},{"key":"bib9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1152\/jn.00335.2002"},{"key":"bib10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1523\/JNEUROSCI.1436-15.2015"},{"key":"bib11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.neuropsychologia.2017.11.033"},{"key":"bib12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.neuroimage.2020.117222"},{"key":"bib13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.neuropsychologia.2016.07.008"},{"key":"bib14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0963721417689881"},{"key":"bib15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7554\/eLife.50371"},{"key":"bib16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1523\/JNEUROSCI.2640-12.2012"},{"key":"bib17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/0033-295X.91.3.295"},{"key":"bib18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/cercor\/bhr112"},{"key":"bib19","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cortex.2019.03.015"},{"key":"bib20","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10548-017-0566-y"},{"key":"bib21","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.tics.2019.09.011"},{"key":"bib22","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7554\/eLife.46323"},{"key":"bib23","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.neuron.2016.12.013"},{"key":"bib24","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/mds.26732"},{"key":"bib25","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1152\/jn.00229.2013"}],"container-title":["Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","deposited":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,12]],"date-time":"2021-03-12T22:01:35Z","timestamp":1615586495000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/direct.mit.edu\/jocn\/article\/33\/1\/119-128\/95528"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2021,1]]},"references-count":25,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2021,1]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1162\/jocn_a_01642"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1162\/jocn_a_01642","relation":{},"ISSN":["0898-929X","1530-8898"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0898-929X","type":"print"},{"value":"1530-8898","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2021,1]]},"assertion":[{"value":"2020-12-02","order":3,"name":"published","label":"Published","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}]}}
