TITLE:
Addressing Name and Face Recall Cognitive Failure Using Visualisation-Based Mnemonics
ABSTRACT:
This research addresses the everyday cognitive failure of recalling names and faces by leveraging visualisation-based mnemonics. Despite the advancement in technology, enhancing human cognitive performance remains challenging, especially in everyday tasks like remembering names. Current research lacks a strategy-based digital training system to improve semantic memory for face-name associations. We take the first step towards developing such a system by creating a prototype to evaluate the visualisation-based link mnemonic method that could be used by the training system. This prototype augments faces in videos with keywords and visualisations, aiming to enhance face-name recall. We present the prototype and propose a research method to evaluate different modes of the system, focusing on the impact of animated visualisations on recall effectiveness and mental effort.
