自传体记忆可以从现场（第一人称）或观察者（第三人称）的角度回忆。之前的研究表明，现场观察者视角的变化会降低回忆事件的情绪强度。在本研究中，我们通过后续测量来检验这种效应是否具有较长的持续时间。参与者被要求在三个会话（S1、S2 和 S3）中重复回忆相同的事件：S2 在 S1 之后大约三天进行，S3 在 S2 之后大约四个星期进行。结果显示，当 S2 时视角从现场变为观察者时，回忆事件的情绪强度有所降低。更重要的是，这种情绪强度的降低一直持续到S3。在 S2 处观察者到现场视角变化时没有观察到这些影响。这些结果表明，观察者的观点采择可能会导致自传体记忆系统发生可塑性变化。
Autobiographical memories can be recalled from either a field (first-person) or an observer (third-person) perspective. Previous studies have reported that field-to-observer perspective change reduced the emotional intensity of recalled events. In the present study, we examined whether this effect has a long duration by employing follow-up measurements. The participants were asked to recall the same events repeatedly across three sessions (S1, S2, and S3): S2 was conducted about three days after S1, and S3 was conducted about four weeks after S2. The results showed a reduction in the emotional intensity of the recalled events when the perspective was changed from field to observer at S2. More importantly, this reduction in emotional intensity persisted until S3. These effects were not observed under observer-to-field perspective change at S2. These results suggest that observer perspective taking can cause plastic change in the autobiographical memory system.
