Training Autobiographical Memory in Older Adults Using Photos From Wearable Cameras.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Older adults are substantially impaired in memory for specific past events, particularly for memory of contextual information, such as when an event happened (temporal-order memory). In the current study, we investigated a novel approach for training temporal-order memory in older adults using wearable cameras that automatically take first-person photos of participants' lives.

Methods

As opposed to the traditional method of training memory using simple laboratory stimuli (laboratory memory-LM), our method trained memory using participants' life events (autobiographical memory-AM). We randomly assigned participants to 3 groups, the AM group trained using photos from wearable cameras, the LM group trained using conventional laboratory stimuli (scene photos), and the
