ABSTRACT Several studies indicate that the capacity for retaining visual content in long-term memory (LTM) is almost unlimited and vastly superior to the storage capacity for verbal data. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the fidelity of visual memory in adults and older adults and compare it with that of young adults. A Visual Long-Term Memory Test (VLT-MT) was developed in which the participants viewed 512 images, divided into two groups of 256 figures, and performed a subsequent forced-choice task after viewing each group. The results also indicate that the semantic category to which the stimulus belonged influenced the performance of the subjects, and that the capacity to recognize a given object diminished as the number of figures from the same category increased.

老化过程中视觉长期记忆的逼真度（视觉上的记忆，过程中的记忆）

摘要一些研究表明，将视觉内容保留在长期记忆（LTM）中的能力几乎是无限的，并且大大优于语言数据的存储能力。这项研究的目的是评估成年人和老年人的视觉记忆保真度，并将其与年轻人进行比较。开发了视觉长期记忆测试（VLT-MT），其中参与者查看了512张图像，分为两组256张图形，并在查看每组之后执行了随后的强制选择任务。结果还表明，刺激所属的语义类别影响了主体的表现，并且随着来自同一类别的人物数量的增加，识别给定对象的能力也会降低。
