Abstract

Alzheimer's disease impairs episodic memory and subtly and progressively robs people of their ability to remember their recent experiences. In this paper, we describe two studies that lead to a better understanding of how caregivers use cues to support episodic memory impairment and what types of cues are best for supporting recollection. We also show how good memory cues differ between people with and without episodic memory impairment. We discuss how this improved understanding impacts the design of lifelogging technologies for automatically capturing and extracting the best memory cues to assist overburdened caregivers and people with episodic memory impairment in supporting recollection of episodic memory.
