Abstract
At the beginning of this research, a participant who lives with memory loss every day of his life attempted to explain what he wanted in a memory aid. “Imagine a memory which is outside you and responsive to you but doesn’t control you.” This, then was the challenge: to design an effective aid which would be a natural extension to the memory which you and I do not realise just how much we depend upon.
