Investigating memory recall by visualization of photo network

Published:07 September 2015Publication History

ABSTRACT

We are developing an app that presents photographs in such a way as to increase the user's motivation for activity by activating memory recall and awareness. In this paper, as a initial investigation for this project, we report a photo-network visualization system and a initial experiment conducted to assess its validity. The system groups related pictures in terms of the objects and scenes in the images. The system allows user to view the photographs interactively by selecting nodes in the network. In an experiment, participants reported that viewing the photographs on the system actually improved their memory recall. Furthermore, we uncovered evidence that certain photographs better promoted memory recall than others. We also analyzed the tendencies of the participants when selecting nodes, and whether the photographs elicited feelings of fondness or interest.
