In: Proceedings of DSIE 2024, 21-22 December 2024, Hangzhou, China, Volume 405, Frontiers in Artificial Intelligence and Applications, pp. 19-28https://doi.org/10.3233/faia250250https://dspace.lib.cranfield.ac.uk/handle/1826/23780This study explores the effects of multisensory memory on memory for everyday objects, with a particular focus on memory for £1 coins. The study delves into the intersection of sensory anthropology, sensory history, and sensory sociology to examine how multisensory experiences affect memory persistence. The study used a dual-task paradigm and cross-modal stimuli to investigate the effectiveness of different sensory combinations in enhancing memory. Post-epidemic era, unlike offline experiences, this experiment utilised an online survey and a variety of media formats including text, images, video, audio and physical objects. The results showed that multisensory interactions significantly improved short-term memory recall over single-sensory modalities, while visual elements such as colours and shapes had a lasting effect on long-term memory. The study also highlights the potential of multisensory engagement in educational environments and museum experiences, gathering reliable data for future projects in which computers simulate human behaviour.19-28enAttribution-NonCommercial 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/46 Information and Computing Sciences4608 Human-Centred ComputingBehavioral and Social Science1.1 Normal biological development and functioningConference paper978-1-64368-586-16727072405
