This study investigates the effect of memory integration on the recognition of historical buildings based on laboratory experiments. Previous research has supported that remembering causes forgetting of other information in memory; this memory phenomenon is called retrieval-induced forgetting, and retrieval-induced forgetting is improved by memory integration that considers similarities of information; this phenomenon is called retrieval-induced facilitation. This study aims to demonstrate that non-integration of historical architectural memory causes retrieval-induced forgetting resulting in forgetting of historical buildings and that integrating historical architectural memory causes retrieval-induced facilitation resulting in improving building forgetting by retrieval-practiced paradigm. The results showed that the non-integration of historical architectural memory causes forgetting of historical buildings and that integrating historical architectural memory causes improving building forgetting.
