Until recently, little was known about destination memory, or memory for the destination of outputted information. In the present work, this memory was evaluated in 32 older adults and 36 younger adults, who had to associate proverbs to pictures of famous people and decide, on a subsequent recognition task, whether they had previously told that proverb to that face or not. When deciding about the destination, participants had to provide contextual judgment, that is, whether each picture had been previously exposed in color or in black and white. Participants also performed a neuropsychological battery tapping episodic memory and executive functions. Findings showed poor destination recall in older participants. Destination recall in older adults was reliably predicted by with their context recall. Destination memory seems to be particularly affected by aging, a deterioration that can be related to deficits in processing contextual features during encoding.
直到最近，人们对目标记忆，即输出信息的目标记忆知之甚少。在本研究中，对32名老年人和36名年轻人的这种记忆进行了评估，他们必须将谚语与名人图片相关联，并在随后的识别任务中判断他们之前是否将该谚语告诉过那张脸。在判断目标时，参与者必须提供情境判断，即每张图片之前是以彩色还是黑白形式呈现的。参与者还进行了一系列神经心理学测试，以评估情景记忆和执行功能。研究结果显示老年参与者的目标记忆较差。老年人的目标记忆可以通过他们的情境记忆可靠地预测。目标记忆似乎特别受衰老影响，这种衰退可能与编码过程中处理情境特征的缺陷有关。
