In Anderson et al.'s experiment on retrieval-induced inhibition, participants recall RP- (retrieval practiced category; unstudied items) items worse than NRP (not studied) items. This result suggests that the act of retrieving relates to a decrease in the accessibility of related material, making it harder to retrieve later.
