摘要

随着年龄的增长,对记忆丧失的过度恐惧,尤其是对短暂的短期记忆丧失的刻板印象,可能会有效地阻止老年人享受他们记忆模式的变化。在以后的生活中,随着年龄的增长,一生的记忆可能会自发地回到我们身上。新的认知科学研究似乎证实了文学和深度心理学的见解,即老年人是唯一有资格成为探险家的人,正如诗人T.S.艾略特(T.S. Eliot)所说的那样。与年轻人的大脑不同,老年人的大脑具有“广泛的注意力跨度”,当他们搜索和探索周围的世界时,他们的视线会超越狭窄的界限。这篇文章包含了一段22分钟的视频的万维网网址,视频记录了一位62岁的女性在她的人生回顾回忆录中对长期记忆的探索。她在终身学习课上写了这本回忆录,作为一种收获她童年创伤的长期记忆的一部分,并作为一种帮助减轻创伤的方式……

Intrepid Exploring: Looking Past Fears of Short-Term Memory Loss in Aging to Deploy the Brain's Long-Term Memories and—Wisdom
Exaggerated fears about losses as we age, especially as exemplified by inimical cultural stereotypes about transient short-term memory losses, may effectively prevent older individuals from enjoying the changes in their memory patterns. In later life, a lifetime of memories may spontaneously begin returning to us as we age. New cognitive science research seems to confirm insights from literature and depth psychology that older individuals are uniquely qualified to be explorers, as the poet T.S. Eliot has said they should be. Unlike the brains in younger years, older brains have “broad attention spans” that look beyond narrow boundaries as they search and explore the world about them. This essay includes World Wide Web URLs to 22 minutes of video documenting one 62-year-old woman's exploration of long-term memories in a life-review memoir. She wrote the memoir in a lifelong learning class, as a way of harvesting a part her long-term memory about a childhood trauma, and as a way of helping assuage the traum...
