Research Abstract |
The objective of the present study is to establish a new memory augmentation technique based on human memory characteristics in terms of spatial information. The feature of the technique is that it achieves memory augmentation by only having the user compose a quick image from a picture of a location or an object with a memory peg picture using a portable computer. Multiple experiments demonstrated that the presented technique introduced marked memory improvements of free recall after limited-time memory tasks as compared to a control condition.
