Little research has been conducted on achievement motivation and memory and, more specifically, on achievement goals and memory. In the present research, the authors conducted two experiments designed to examine the influence of mastery-approach and performance-approach goals on immediate and delayed remember-know recognition memory. The experiments revealed differential effects for achievement goals over time: Performance-approach goals showed higher correct remember responding on an immediate recognition test, whereas mastery-approach goals showed higher correct remember responding on a delayed recognition test. Achievement goals had no influence on overall recognition memory and no consistent influence on know responding across experiments. These findings indicate that it is important to consider quality, not just quantity, in both motivation and memory, when studying relations between these constructs.
关于成就动机和记忆，尤其是成就目标和记忆，研究甚少。在本研究中，作者进行了两项实验，旨在考察掌握趋近目标和表现趋近目标对即时和延迟再认记忆的影响。实验揭示了成就目标随时间的不同影响：表现趋近目标在即时再认测试中表现出更高的正确再认反应，而掌握趋近目标在延迟再认测试中表现出更高的正确再认反应。成就目标对整体再认记忆没有影响，也没有对实验中知识反应的一致性影响。这些发现表明，在研究这些结构之间的关系时，不仅要考虑动机和记忆的数量，还要考虑质量。
