Properties of the binding mechanism in associative recognition were studied by examining the influence of the pictorial superiority effect on the age-related associative deficit. The informative aspect of associative recognition is the recollection of the pairing. Previous findings indicate that recollection is susceptible to aging and that pictorial presentation can enhance recollection and facilitate associative recognition. Pictorial presentation was found to facilitate item recognition by both young and older adults, associative recognition by young adults, but not associative recognition by older adults. Our findings support the hypothesis that the binding mechanism in associative recognition is content independent. Theoretical implications are discussed.
通过研究图像优势效应对与年龄相关的联想缺陷的影响，探讨了联想识别中绑定机制的特性。联想识别的信息性方面是对配对的回忆。先前的研究结果表明，回忆易受衰老影响，图像呈现可以增强回忆并促进联想识别。研究发现，图像呈现有助于年轻人和老年人进行项目识别，有助于年轻人进行联想识别，但对老年人的联想识别没有帮助。我们的研究结果支持了联想识别中的绑定机制与内容无关这一假设。并讨论了其理论意义。
