Two experiments measured the effect of retrieval support provided by a wearable camera, SenseCam, on older and younger adults' memory for a recently experienced complex staged event. In each experiment, participants completed a series of tasks in groups, and the events were recalled 2 weeks later, after viewing SenseCam images (experimental condition) or thinking about the event (control condition). When IQ and education were matched, young adults recalled more event details than older adults, demonstrating an age-related deficit for novel autobiographical material. Reviewing SenseCam images increased the number of details recalled by older and younger adults, and the effect was similar for both groups. These results suggest that memory can be supported by the use of SenseCam, but the age-related deficit is not eliminated.
两项实验测量了可穿戴相机SenseCam提供的检索支持对老年人和年轻人对近期经历的复杂阶段性事件的记忆的影响。在每个实验中，参与者分组完成一系列任务，两周后，在查看SenseCam图像（实验条件）或思考该事件（对照条件）后回忆这些事件。当智商和教育程度相匹配时，年轻人比老年人回忆起更多的事件细节，这表明对于新颖的自传体材料存在与年龄相关的缺陷。查看SenseCam图像增加了老年人和年轻人回忆的细节数量，并且两组的效果相似。这些结果表明，使用SenseCam可以支持记忆，但与年龄相关的缺陷并未消除。
