본 논문은 재학습 없이도 검사를 반복함에 따라 기억수행이 증가하는 기억상승(hypermnesia) 현상에 작용하는 실험적 변인을 조사하였다. 그림목록이 시각적으로 제시된 실험 1과 단어목록이 청각적으로 제시된 실험 2 모두에서 기억상승의 중요한 요소인 기억회복(reminiscence)이 얻어졌다. 또한 반복검사를 실시할 때 주어지는 검사 지시문이 기억증가에 대한 장려를 할 때 얻어진 기억상승의 효과는 그렇지 않은 지시문이 주어진 통제 조건에 비하여 유의하게 컸다. 그러나 회상량의 차이가 기억회복량의 차이와 상관을 보이지는 않았다. 또한 기억회복은 발달적 차이와는 관계가 없는 것으로 나타났다.

This study aimed at identifying the significant effects and effectiveness of patients with mild dementia when using personalized reminiscence therapy digital services using AI voice technology. In the process of interpreting the results of stakeholder interviews, the design idea of personal customization using voice AI technology was derived, and prototypes were created and usability tests were conducted in the first and second rounds. The main results are as follows: Since reminiscence therapy itself is highly influenced by personal experience and can receive customized care guides based on treatment status and results through customized treatment programs, the concept of personalization can improve the quality of treatment than existing treatment methods. However, it is expected that the usability of the service will further increase if we study micro-interactions that can prevent errors and increase usability, as issues that may arise due to the forgetting cognitive characteristics of mild dementia patients are observed.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of horticultural activities with reminiscence materials and singing songs on the ability to recall words and depression in the elderly with mild dementia. A total of 20 sessions of a horticultural therapy program was held once or twice a week from July 14, 2015 to November 3, 2015 for the elderly with mind dementia at the social welfare center in D city. The subjects of this study were 13 women and the mean age was 81.2 years. The ability to recall words significantly improved from $8.6{\pm}1.8$ before the program to $9.4{\pm}0.6$ after the program (p=.012). However, there was no significant difference in the score of depression after the program. Synergistic effects were generated by applying horticultural activities, singing and reminiscence therapy activities simultaneously, and it was effective in recalling memories. As emotional functions were associated with hormones in vivo, there were emotional ups and downs at each session and short-term alternative therapies were not sufficient to completely eliminate neurotoxic substances caused by dementia.
