An active, conscious attempt to put something out of mind, such as not thinking about the bad grade you made on a test last week, is referred to as suppression.
Sigmund Freud's 1892 proposal for a voluntary form of repression was called suppression. It is the deliberate act of erasing from awareness unwelcome, anxiety-inducing memories, emotions, imaginations, and desires. Controlled experiments can be more successfully conducted on suppression than on repression, which is the unconscious process of eliminating unpleasant memories, ideas, and emotions from consciousness or mind. Suppression is moved from the realm of the psychoanalyst's couch to the actual world of the brain by connecting it to well-known brain systems involved in behavioral regulation. Visual perceptual suppression is a different type of suppression that happens when an object—or portion of one—is not consciously viewed despite the image always being clearly visible.
