Outline of Final Research Achievements

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 of the experiment supported two hypotheses.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究の結果を踏まえると、時代性等によって意匠的特徴が異なる歴史的建築物が現存する地域は、例えば、その地域を象徴する時代における歴史的建築物の建築意匠上の特徴と、他の時代の歴史的建築物の特徴に関して類似点を見出すコミュニケーション施策によって両者の記憶情報の統合を図ることで、両建築物の記憶の想起を促進するものと期待される。
