The authors investigate the behavior of cardinal invariants under special forcing conditions. The cardinal invariants considered are the bounding number, additivity, covering number and uniformity of \({\mathcal M}\) and \({\mathcal N}\) (the ideals of Lebesgue null sets and of meagre sets, respectively). They use forcing iterations with partial memories in order to change \({\mathfrak b}\), \(\text{cov}({\mathcal M})\), \(\text{cov}({\mathcal N})\), \(\text{unif} ({\mathcal M})\) and \(\text{univ} ({\mathcal N})\) without changing cofinalities. They show that \(\text{add} ({\mathcal M})\) and \(\text{add} ({\mathcal N})\) can be changed without changing cardinalities or the reals.
