Abstract
While it has been recognized to be more important for the QOL of the elderly that we understand their life reviews, we still don't know much about how the life reviews are related to places and what is the effective methods of evoking them. This paper focuses on "place related reminiscence" and argue how it was enhanced by showing photographs of familiar places. The authors conducted a series of interviews on 2 elderly subjects showing photographs of their familiar places. As a result, it was found that "wide type" photographs are more likely to evoke their place related memory than "zoom-up type" of photographs.
