Identifying characteristics that distinguish between people with relatively good versus poor episodic memory is an important goal of eyewitness-memory research, as is identifying activities that can improve people's ability to retrieve episodic memories. Consistency of hand preference is a trait associated with the quality of people's episodic memory and repetitive saccade execution is an activity known to improve people's ability to retrieve episodic memories. These factors were examined in relation to cued and free recall of a staged criminal event. Individuals with inconsistent hand preference (versus consistent) remembered more on a cued-recall test and also freely recalled a larger amount of victim information. Repetitive saccade execution did not increase cued recall but did increase free recall of victim information. Theoretical implications are discussed, as is potential practical significance, with an emphasis on the size of the observed effects.
识别能区分情节记忆相对较好与较差的人的特征，是目击者记忆研究的一个重要目标，识别能提高人们情节记忆提取能力的活动也是如此。用手偏好的一致性是一种与人们情节记忆质量相关的特征，而重复扫视执行是一种已知能提高人们情节记忆提取能力的活动。针对一起模拟犯罪事件的线索回忆和自由回忆，对这些因素进行了研究。用手偏好不一致（相对于一致）的个体在线索回忆测试中记住的更多，并且自由回忆出的受害者信息也更多。重复扫视执行并没有增加线索回忆，但确实增加了对受害者信息的自由回忆。本文讨论了理论意义以及潜在的实际意义，重点是观察到的效应大小。
