“…While potentially promising, these findings of generalized cognitive enhancement should be replicated to confirm whether the benefits of SenseCam use are as far‐reaching as these researchers have claimed. A more recent study also compared the effects of SenseCam use in younger and older adults to examine the benefits of SenseCam images as retrieval cues . Relative to cuing memories with participant‐generated event titles, cuing with SenseCam photographs led to improved recall (including of details not apparent in the images) in both age groups, with no significant effects of aging.…”

“…Indeed, it has been suggested that the viewing of brief, ordered sequences of photographs captured by wearable cameras may roughly approximate the time‐compressed and fragmentary characteristics of actual endogenously retrieved autobiographical memories . That said, a recent study that probed participants’ memories with sequences of SenseCam photographs depicting events unfolding in either their original forward order or in a random order found only a small advantage in recall for the forward‐order condition . This could suggest that the overall amount of detail contained within the set of images is more consequential than the temporal dynamics conveyed in the sequence.…”

In recent years, investigation into the cognitive and neural mechanisms of autobiographical memory has been aided by the use of experimental paradigms incorporating wearable camera technology. By effortlessly capturing first-person images of one's life events, these cameras provide a rich set of naturalistic stimuli that can later be used to trigger the recall of specific episodes. Here, we chronicle the development and progression of such studies in behavioral and neuroimaging examinations of both clinical and nonclinical adult populations. Experiments examining the effects of periodic review of first-person images of life events have documented enhancements of autobiographical memory retrieval. Such benefits are most pronounced in patients with memory impairments, but there is mounting evidence that cognitively healthy individuals may benefit as well. Findings from functional magnetic resonance imaging experiments using wearable camera stimuli as retrieval probes have produced results that, although largely consistent with the broader episodic memory literature, have significantly extended prior findings concerning the underlying mnemonic processes and the neural representation of autobiographical information. Taken together, wearable camera technology provides a unique opportunity for studies of autobiographical memory to more closely approximate real-world conditions, thus offering enhanced ecological validity and opening up new avenues for experimental work.

“…There is also a risk of failing to capture moments where the user is not aware that something of potential relevance is taking place. Using a lifelogging camera where photos are taken automatically has been shown to improve recall also of information not shown in the photos (Mair, Poirier, & Conway, 2017). Hence, in our study, photos are collected automatically, to complement user generated data plotted on an experience timeline.…”

Lifelogging in User Experience Research: Supporting Recall and Improving Data Richness

Abstract:The purpose of lifelogging is to help users collect data for self-monitoring and reflection. We have in this study explored how lifelogging technology (a camera and a heart rate monitor) can change user experience (UX) research, and we describe a novel approach. Data was collected for three days with four participants, and a 4-6-hours co-creation workshop with stimulated recall interview was held with each of them to create an experience timeline. The timeline includes selfreported key experiences, lifelog stimulated experiences, heart rate, decisions, and valence. The results show that the number of experiences in the timeline that come from data points stimulated by the lifelogging, are as many as the self-reported data points. Lessons learned include that the use of lifelogging produces highly detailed UX research, but it is very time consuming, due to the sheer amount of data.

“…Importantly, the AI allows for external details to be parsed further into subcategories including 'external events' (separate from the main event being described), 'semantic detail', 'repetitions', and 'other'; however, such segregation is not consistently performed. Instead, many studies default to reporting only the total external details metric without considering their constituent elements in more detail (e.g., Benjamin, Cifelli, Garrard, Caine, & Jones, 2015;Spreng et al, 2018), with others reporting only selective subcategories (e.g., Mair, Poirier, & Conway, 2017;Rensen et al, 2017), or failing to examine external details entirely (e.g., Baron & Bluck, 2009;Crete-Nishihata et al, 2012). In addition to the inconsistent reporting of external details, a common tendency to consider the aggregated external details category as uniformly 'semantic' pervades the literature (e.g., Ally, Hussey, & Donahue, 2013;Zeman et al, 2016).…”

Autobiographical memory (ABM) is typically held to comprise episodic and semantic elements, with the vast majority of studies to date focusing on profiles of episodic details in health and disease. In this context, 'non-episodic' elements are often considered to reflect semantic processing or are discounted from analyses entirely. Mounting evidence suggests that rather than reflecting one unitary entity, semantic autobiographical information may contain discrete subcomponents, which vary in their relative degree of semantic or episodic content. This study aimed to (1) review the existing literature to formally characterize the variability in analysis of 'non-episodic' content (i.e., external details) on the Autobiographical Interview and (2) use these findings to create a theoretically grounded framework for coding external details. Our review exposed discrepancies in the reporting and interpretation of external details across studies, reinforcing the need for a new, consistent approach. We validated our new external details scoring protocol (the 'NExt' taxonomy) in patients with Alzheimer's disease (n = 18) and semantic dementia (n = 13), and 20 healthy older Control participants and compared profiles of the NExt subcategories across groups and time periods. Our results revealed increased sensitivity of the NExt taxonomy in discriminating between ABM profiles of patient groups, when compared to traditionally used internal and external detail metrics. Further, remote and recent autobiographical memories displayed distinct compositions of the NExt detail types. This study is the first to provide a fine-grained and comprehensive taxonomy to parse external details into intuitive subcategories and to validate this protocol in neurodegenerative disorders.
