People often acquire souvenirs and photographs to facilitate remembering, but possessions and memories can relate to each other in a variety of ways. This review paper presents four different connection types found between meaningful things in our everyday lives and our personal memories. Each connection type either focuses on possessions or memories and the connection between the two is either active or lost. These perspectives will be detailed through examples of studies and design cases from different fields and research areas. More studies have been found focusing on existing connections between possessions and memories, such as in human-computer interaction, design, material culture, psychology and marketing, than those lost, which were specifically focused around ageing, forgetting, heirlooms, identity and hoarding behaviour. Our review of connections between possessions and memories accumulate to suggest the attachment people ascribe to certain possessions is mirrored by the ability of objects to fulfil people's desire to preserve, embody, showcase and recollect certain memories.
人们经常购买纪念品和拍照来帮助记忆，但物品和记忆可以以多种方式相关联。这篇综述文章介绍了在我们的日常生活中，有意义的事物与个人记忆之间存在的四种不同的联系类型。每种联系类型要么关注物品，要么关注记忆，两者之间的联系要么是主动的，要么是被动的。这些观点将通过来自不同领域和研究领域的研究和设计案例详细说明。与记忆失去的联系相比，更多的研究关注于物品和记忆之间的现有联系，例如在人机交互、设计、物质文化、心理学和市场营销等领域。而记忆失去的联系则主要集中在老龄化、遗忘、传家宝、身份和囤积行为上。我们对物品和记忆之间联系的综述表明，人们对某些物品的依恋反映了物品能够满足人们保存、体现、展示和回忆某些记忆的愿望。
