Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The revolution in technology is influencing memory assessment and rehabilitation. We thus lunch this special issue as an attempt to bridge the gap between the current paper-and-pencil and the upcoming technology-based assessment and rehabilitation of memory. Because assessment of memory (in general and clinical populations) and rehabilitation of memory in amnesia is a worthwhile endeavor, research should attempt to identify/test technologies that may improve memory assessment (in general and clinical populations) and/or maintain and ultimately improve memory function in amnesia. To tackle the promising areas of this booming research field, we are calling for papers dealing with the use of recent technologies in the field of memory assessment and rehabilitation.

You are encouraged to submit for this special issue regardless of the targeted population (with or without amnesia). Any technology-based methodology is welcome, as long as the methodology breaks with the traditional approach in memory assessment and rehabilitation. Examples of the used-technology can be (but not limited to): mobile-based technology, imagery-based technology, behavioral-based technology, physiological-based technology…

Do not hesitate to contact the editor should you have any further inquiry about the scoop of this special issue.

Autobiographical memories (ABMs) produce rich phenomenological experiences. Although few standardized and comprehensive measures of the phenomenology of ABMs have been developed, a web-based assessment of the full range of phenomenological properties is still missing. In the present study, we aimed to fill this gap and tested the psychometric properties of a web-based version of the Assessment of the Phenomenology of Autobiographical Memory (APAM) in a group of young and older adults. Specifically, taking advantage of the flexibility of web-based assessment methodology, we tested the rating consistency of APAM items, asking participants to rate the phenomenology of their ABMs with respect to seven cues, administered in one per day in seven different days. In each session, we also collected ratings of mood and arousal. Using linear mixed modeling (LMM), we could examine whether the phenomenology ratings differed with respect to age group while controlling for sex, age of the memory, arousal, mood, and specificity of the memory. Results revealed an adequate level of consistency of ratings in both young and older adults. Moreover, LMMs revealed a more intense experience of recollection and reliving (i.e., sensory and emotional) and a higher confidence in memory accuracy in older compared to younger adults. The theoretical and practical usefulness of a web-based assessment of the phenomenology of ABMs are discussed. Full article
