"In contrast to the intentional, goal-based tasks ... are tasks that can actually be
disrupted by heightened cognitive control. This is most often seen in tasks that are aided by the
use of previously irrelevant information, or on tasks that generally benefit from drawing on diverse
bits of information from various sources. For example, in the retrieval-induced forgetting paradigm,
increased cognitive control in young adults is associated with the suppression of
competing information for better retrieval of target information. However, when the suppressed
non-target information becomes relevant in a future task, young adults show poor memory for
that information [20]."
"although suppression typically enhances memory by reducing interference at
retrieval [9–12], there are some contexts that require knowledge of the suppressed information in
which low cognitive control would provide a benefit."
"engagement of cognitive control may impede creativity by focusing attention on a limited number
of non-optimal strategies."
