Measuring interference from prior memories using experience sampling

该项目旨在更好地了解再认记忆中遗忘的原因。该项目将在识别记忆实验之前测量参与者使用智能手机技术的体验四周。实验中的图像和先前经验中的图像之间的相似性可以用于完全指定识别记忆的计算模型内的所有干扰分量，从而导致识别记忆的完整模型。更好地理解认知记忆中遗忘的原因可以显示干扰如何导致衰老中的记忆障碍，最终导致阿尔茨海默氏症和其他临床疾病。

The project aims to better understand the causes of forgetting in recognition memory. This project will measure participants' experiences using smartphone technology for four weeks before a recognition memory experiment. Similarities between the images in the experiment and images in prior experience can be used to fully specify all interference components within a computational model of recognition memory, leading to a complete model of recognition memory. Better understanding the causes of forgetting in recognition memory could show how interference contributes to memory impairments in ageing, and ultimately Alzheimer’s and other clinical disorders.
