How best to measure memory in a reliable and valid way has been intensely debated in neuropsychological literature. Specifically, classical neuropsychological tests often fail to predict real-life performance or capture the multifaceted nature of memory function. To solve these issues, there has been a growing emphasis on the use of more ecological memory assessment. In this scenario, several virtual reality based tools have been developed to evaluate memory function. The aim of the current perspective is to discuss critically the possibilities offered for episodic memory assessment by one of the most innovative trends in the technology field, i.e., 360° videos. Immersivity, egocentric view and realism appear to be crucial features of 360° videos enabling them to enhance the ecological validity of classical assessment tools of memory abilities.
如何以可靠且有效的方式最佳地测量记忆，这在神经心理学文献中一直存在激烈争论。具体而言，经典的神经心理学测试往往无法预测现实生活中的表现，也无法捕捉记忆功能的多面性。为了解决这些问题，人们越来越强调使用更具生态效度的记忆评估方法。在这种情况下，已经开发了几种基于虚拟现实的工具来评估记忆功能。本文的目的是批判性地讨论技术领域最具创新性的趋势之一，即360°视频，为情景记忆评估提供的可能性。沉浸感、以自我为中心的视角和真实感似乎是360°视频的关键特征，使其能够提高记忆能力经典评估工具的生态效度。
