Abstract

Retelling an event in a social setting often means talking about it less factually than we might if trying to recall it as accurately as possible. These distortions that arise from socially oriented retellings could affect the ability to later recall the same event accurately. Does retelling a story in a social situation impair memory compared to not retelling it at all? Or could retrieving the memory, even with a socially oriented mindset, still improve memory? We explored social retelling's effect on memory in a two-session study. Participants heard two stories twice and, after a distractor task, retold the stories according to one of three randomly assigned conditions: social retelling (retell the stories as if talking to friends), accuracy retelling (retell the stories as accurately as possible), or no retelling. A day later, everyone retold the stories as accurately as possible. Participants in the accuracy retelling group included more specific details in their session two retellings than did the social retelling group, which included more specific details than the no retelling group. Elaborations in session two did not differ across groups. Findings suggest retelling a story in a social situation benefits memory, though not as much as retelling a story accurately does.

社会复述对事件回忆的影响。
在社交场合复述一件事,往往意味着我们在谈论这件事时不那么真实,而不是尽可能准确地回忆这件事。这些由社交导向的复述所产生的失真可能会影响日后准确回忆同一事件的能力。与不复述相比,在社交场合复述故事是否会损害记忆?或者说,即使是以社交为导向的心态来检索记忆,是否仍能改善记忆?我们在一项分两期进行的研究中探讨了社交复述对记忆的影响。参与者听了两遍两个故事,在完成一个分散注意力的任务后,按照随机分配的三种条件之一复述故事:社交复述(像与朋友交谈一样复述故事)、准确性复述(尽可能准确地复述故事)或不复述。一天后,每个人都尽可能准确地复述故事。与社交复述组相比,准确性复述组的参与者在第二环节的复述中包含了更多的具体细节,而社交复述组比不复述组包含了更多的具体细节。第二环节的阐述在各组之间没有差异。研究结果表明,在社交场合复述故事有利于记忆,但不如准确复述故事那样。

期刊介绍: Memory publishes high quality papers in all areas of memory research. This includes experimental studies of memory (including laboratory-based research, everyday memory studies, and applied memory research), developmental, educational, neuropsychological, clinical and social research on memory. By representing all significant areas of memory research, the journal cuts across the traditional distinctions of psychological research. Memory therefore provides a unique venue for memory researchers to communicate their findings and ideas both to peers within their own research tradition in the study of memory, and also to the wider range of research communities with direct interest in human memory.
