This experiment examined the viewpoint and other phenomenal characteristics of childhood memories based on both personal recollections and self-knowledge. Participants were asked to provide examples of remember, know, and uncertain memories, and to rate each memory on a number of dimensions. Remembered events were generally viewed from a field perspective, while known-about events were generally viewed from an observer perspective. In line with earlier research, remembered events received the highest ratings for sensory and contextual detail, emotional content, and memory accuracy, while known-about events were given the lowest ratings. The results are discussed with reference to their possible implications for memory recovery or enhancement techniques that ask people to adopt a different viewpoint. Consideration is given as to whether a switch to a field perspective might encourage the acceptance of suggested details or events.
本实验基于个人回忆和自我认知，研究了童年记忆的观点及其他现象特征。参与者被要求提供记得、知道和不确定记忆的例子，并在多个维度上对每个记忆进行评分。被记住的事件通常从现场视角看待，而知晓的事件通常从观察者视角看待。与早期研究一致，被记住的事件在感官和情境细节、情感内容以及记忆准确性方面获得最高评分，而知晓的事件则获得最低评分。结合这些结果对记忆恢复或增强技术（要求人们采用不同视角）的可能影响进行了讨论。还考虑了转换到现场视角是否可能会促使人们接受所暗示的细节或事件。
