Destination memory involves remembering to whom we told information. Low accuracy of this memory is linked to higher self-focus and lower attentional resources allocated to the recipient of the information. The present paper aimed to investigate whether the existence of distinctive features (e.g., tattoos) of destination face would improve destination memory, in a within- (Experiment 1 and 2) and between-participants (Experiment 3) design. In a destination memory task, participants had to tell proverbs to faces that presented a distinctive feature and to other faces that did not. Results showed that a destination memory advantage only occurs when faces with different distinctive features are compared to faces without distinctive features (Experiment 1). These results are in accordance with the existing theoretical framework on destination memory and distinctiveness; highlighting the importance of personal attributes, namely, the distinctiveness of the destination face and the relativity of distinctiveness in destination memory.

独特的面部特征对目的地记忆的影响

目的地记忆涉及记住我们告诉谁信息。这种记忆的低准确性与较高的自我关注和分配给信息接收者的注意力资源较低有关。本论文旨在研究在参与者内部（实验 1 和 2）和参与者之间（实验 3）设计中，目的地面部的独特特征（例如纹身）的存在是否会改善目的地记忆。在目的地记忆任务中，参与者必须告诉具有独特特征的面孔和其他没有特征的面孔的谚语。结果表明，只有将具有不同显着特征的面孔与没有显着特征的面孔进行比较时，才会出现目的地记忆优势（实验 1）。这些结果符合现有的目的地记忆和独特性的理论框架；强调个人属性的重要性，即目的地面孔的独特性和目的地记忆中独特性的相对性。
