将来自不同模式和来源的信息绑定到一个对象的过程在认知中普遍存在，并且一直是心理学研究和建模工作的一个问题。大多数研究人员认为这个过程必然对记忆有益。在本研究中，我们提供的证据表明，绑定可能会通过传播干扰漏洞而产生有害影响。语音相似和不相似的字母在计算机显示器的不同位置按顺序呈现。参与者必须回忆字母的呈现顺序或字母出现的空间位置。无论是否鼓励结合——提供要记住哪个维度的先验知识——语音相似性都会对位置回忆产生不利影响。这一发现对“结合是增强记忆和能力的灵丹妙药”这一观点提出了挑战。
The process of binding information from different modalities and sources into an object is ubiquitous in cognition and has been a problem for research and modelling efforts in psychology. This process has been considered by most researchers as necessarily always beneficial to memory. In the present study we provide evidence that binding can be detrimental through the propagation of vulnerabilities to interference. Phonologically similar and dissimilar letters were presented sequentially, at different locations on a computer monitor. Participants had to recall either the letters in their order of presentation or the spatial location, at which the letters had appeared. Whether binding was encouraged or not-providing prior knowledge of which dimension to remember-phonological similarity had a detrimental effect on recall of locations. Such a finding poses a challenge to the view that binding is the panacea in enhancing memory, capacity.
