- Memory augmentation
-
Memory augmentation is the process by which one's ability to retain information is increased. The retrieval of memory has been proven to be faulty in the human brain--it is partially inaccurate and not totally reliable (see more: Recovered memory.) A study conducted by students of the Information Science Department in Nara, Japan sought to measure how able memory is to augment. They used a computer system, the "Ubiquitous Memories," to demonstrate if the technology aided to augmentation better than other methods: notes with a pen and paper, portraits used in a previous trial experiment, and just plain human memory. The results were that the Ubiquitous Memories aided in retrieving memory, and made less mistakes than the other methods. [1]
