Memory for objects declines when people move from one location to another (the location updating effect). However, it is unclear whether this is attributable to event model updating or to task demands. The focus here was on the degree of integration for probed-for information with the experienced environment. In prior research, the probes were verbal labels of visual objects. Experiment 1 assessed whether this was a consequence of an item-probe mismatch, as with transfer-appropriate processing. Visual probes were used to better coordinate what was seen with the nature of the memory probe. In Experiment 2, people received additional word pairs to remember, which were less well integrated with the environment, to assess whether the probed-for information needed to be well integrated. The results showed location updating effects in both cases. These data are consistent with an event cognition view that mental updating of a dynamic event disrupts memory.
当人们从一个地点移动到另一个地点时，对物体的记忆会下降（位置更新效应）。然而，目前尚不清楚这是归因于事件模型更新还是任务需求。这里的重点是探测信息与所经历环境的整合程度。在之前的研究中，探测是视觉物体的口头标签。实验 1 评估了这是否是由于与转移适当处理类似的项目探测不匹配造成的。使用视觉探测来更好地协调所见内容与记忆探测的性质。在实验 2 中，人们收到了更多需要记住的单词对，这些单词与环境的集成度较低，以评估探测到的信息是否需要很好地集成。结果表明在这两种情况下都存在位置更新效应。这些数据与事件认知观点一致，即动态事件的心理更新会破坏记忆。
