一系列实验结果表明，主动学习对记忆很重要。然而，很少有研究关注复杂环境下情景记忆中这种设定效应背后的机制。使用虚拟现实进行的研究得出了不一致的结果。我们假设，行动的效果取决于在计划行程时与环境和自由的相互作用的程度。为了检验这些假设，我们分离了行动的相互作用和计划成分，以调查每一种成分是否都能增强事实和空间记忆。72名参与者(36名男性和36名女性)在三种实验条件之一中探索虚拟城镇：(A)被动条件，参与者作为汽车乘客沉浸其中(没有互动，没有规划)；(B)仅有计划的条件(受试者选择行程，但不开车)；(C)仅互动的条件(受试者开车，但行程是固定的)。我们发现，路线选择和运动控制都能增强空间记忆，而事实记忆则受到在线运动控制的影响。讨论了动作在记忆中的作用。
A range of empirical findings suggest that active learning is important for memory. However, few studies have focused on the mechanisms underlying this enactment effect in episodic memory using complex environments. Research using virtual reality has yielded inconsistent results. We postulated that the effect of action depends on the degree of interaction with the environment and freedom in the planning of an itinerary. To test these hypotheses, we disentangled the interaction and planning components of action to investigate whether each enhances factual and spatial memory. Seventy-two participants (36 male and 36 female) explored a virtual town in one of three experimental conditions: (a) a passive condition where participants were immersed as passenger of the car (no interaction, no planning); (b) a planning-only condition (the subject chose the itinerary but did not drive the car); (c) an interaction-only condition (the subject drove the car but the itinerary was fixed). We found that itinerary choice and motor control both enhanced spatial memory, while factual memory was impaired by online motor control. The role of action in memory is discussed.
