视觉是一种未被充分利用的方式，可用于研究老年人的记忆丧失体验。我们描述了一项针对有主观或客观记忆丧失的老年人的视觉民族志研究，这些老年人接受了一项旨在预防认知衰退和痴呆的认知健康小组干预（APPLE - Tree项目）。我们旨在探索有记忆问题的人的生活体验，参与者如何参与这个摄影和共同设计项目，以及与艺术家/摄影师的合作如何促进这一过程。19名参与者分享了照片，这些照片反映了他们在日常生活中所珍视的事物、他们对记忆问题的体验以及干预措施。14人参加了定性的照片引导访谈，13人与一位专业艺术家/摄影师合作，在个人会面和工作坊中共同创建了一个展览，在此期间，一名研究人员做了民族志现场笔记。展览开幕后，8名参与者接受了再次访谈。我们将参与者所拍摄的照片与围绕视觉和衰老的论述相关联，并强调它们与通过主题分析所形成的主题之间的关系，该主题分析将摄影、观察和访谈数据相互联系起来。我们提出了围绕照片使用的主题：（1）赞美与自然的联系，将其视为生命线；（2）将生活锚定在与家庭的关系背景中；（3）反思自我和身份，在衰老、记忆问题、疫情和衰老刻板印象中持续存在。我们探索视觉研究作为一种强大的工具，用于从经历认知变化的老年人那里获取有意义的叙述，并在衰老研究中将艺术和社会科学联系起来。
The visual is an underutilized modality through which to investigate experiences of memory loss in older people. We describe a visual ethnography with older adults experiencing subjective or objective memory loss, receiving a cognitive well-being group intervention designed to prevent cognitive decline and dementia (APPLE-Tree program). We aimed to explore lived experiences of people with memory concerns, how participants engaged with this photography and codesign project, and how collaboration with an artist/photographer enhanced this process. Nineteen participants shared photographs reflecting what they valued in their daily lives, their experiences of memory concerns, and the intervention. Fourteen participated in qualitative photo-elicitation interviews, and 13 collaborated with a professional artist/photographer to cocreate an exhibition, in individual meetings and workshops, during which a researcher took ethnographic field notes. Eight participants were reinterviewed after the exhibition launch.We contextualize images produced by participants in relation to discourses around the visual and aging and highlight their relationship with themes developed through thematic analysis that interconnects photographic, observational, and interview data. We present themes around the use of photographs to: (1) celebrate connections to nature as a lifeline; (2) anchor lives within the context of relationships with family; and (3) reflect on self and identity, enduring through aging, memory concerns, pandemic, and aging stereotypes. We explore visual research as a powerful tool for eliciting meaningful accounts from older adults experiencing cognitive change and to connect the arts and social sciences within aging studies.
