Lifespan Changes of Hypermnesia and forgetting

记忆力亢进指的是在连续测试中没有重新研究的情况下有所改善。本研究旨在阐明健忘症和健忘症的成因，从寿命的角度寻找健忘症和健忘症的成因。我们做了五个方面的研究。第一个研究从理论观点上回顾了许多关于记忆力亢进的文章，并提出了一种关于意识-无意识问题的新方法。根据这一建议，第二项研究使用要求记忆/知道判断的重复测试程序，比较了三种言语记忆任务：再认、词干回忆和自由回忆。虽然没有发现记忆力亢进，但在连续的测试中，记忆判断有减少的趋势，而知道判断有增加的趋势。第三个实验包括三个实验，分别对表象假说、替代提取路径假说和意义添加过程假说进行了理论检验。这项研究表明，一种假设取决于记忆任务的条件。第四项关于寿命变化的研究表明，记忆力亢进在年幼的儿童和老年人中没有发现，而在小学儿童和年轻人中发现。最后一项使用过程分离程序的研究提供了意识成分是记忆力亢进的主要原因的证据。

Hypermnesia refers to improvement across successive tests without re-study. Purposes of this study are to clarify the causes of Hypermnesia and forgetting and to find the hypermnesia and forgetting in perspective of lifespan. We have done five researches. The first research reviewed many papers on hypermnesia in terms of theoretical points and suggested a new approach concerning conscious-unconscious issues. According to the suggestion, the second research compared three kinds of verbal memory tasks : recognition, word-stem recall, and free recall, using a repeated testing procedure requiring remember/know judgment. Although hypermnesia was not found, there was a tendency for remember judgments to decrease and for know judgment to increase over successive tests. The third research, consisting of three experiments, was done for theoretical examinations of the imagery hypothesis, the alternative retrieval pathway hypothesis and the meaning-adding process hypothesis. This research suggested that a hypothesis depended on a condition of memory tasks. The fourth research on lifespan changes indicated that hypermnesia was not found in younger children and older adults, while it was found in elemental school children and young adults. The last research using the process dissociation procedure provided evidences of the conscious component as an main cause of hypermnesia.
