This dataset contains raw data collected in an experimental study at the University of Muenster, Germany. The study is part of a larger research project and examined “intentional forgetting” effects in a simulated sales planning scenario. Intentional forgetting was operationalized via computer-based decision support system that enabled users to forget decision-relevant background information. We assumed that such intentional forgetting not only enhances decision quality but also decreases strain of decision makers and releases memory capacities for additional tasks.
