## Canonical source context

A twelve-sentence museum notice and six fixed AI cards make memory assistance auditable from source to recall. Verify every card against its sentence number, compare retrieval with the aid, rehearse an outage and test five facts unaided after 48 hours. Four delayed recalls do not establish a general memory gain or protection from AI error.

Target outcome: The learner builds source-linked cards, checks every generated fact, measures device-on retrieval and delayed unaided recall, and rehearses an outage fallback.

### Authority and setup conditions

- Use only fictional, public or approved non-sensitive text.
- Decide which facts truly need unaided recall and which can safely remain externally supported.
- Start check for AI-assisted memory: Every later answer can point to a stable source sentence.
- Top-of-sheet stop for AI-assisted memory: Stop if a generated card cannot be verified against the original source.

### Required or supplied materials

- Declared AI-assisted memory fixture: A 12-sentence fictional museum notice names three opening times, two room changes and one contact rule. The AI proposes six question–answer cards linked to sentence numbers.
- Setup aid for Recall before assistance: Decide which facts truly need unaided recall and which can safely remain externally supported.
- AI-assisted memory log: Device-on retrieval accuracy, source traceability and latency plus delayed unaided recall and performance after system loss; retain AI-assisted memory errors, assistance, stop and fallback.
- Memory-aid evidence sheet: use “Humans inherit artificial intelligence biases” to mark every AI-inserted museum fact that must be source-checked. From the AI-tutoring RCT, copy the learning comparison and measured outcome without calling retrieval a memory cure. The NIST Generative AI Profile supplies the provenance, outage and delayed no-AI checks for the six cards.
- Complete numbered museum notice: S1 On Monday the North Hall opens at 09:00. S2 On Tuesday the North Hall opens at 10:00. S3 On Saturday the North Hall opens at 11:00. S4 The ceramic display moves from Room C to Room B. S5 The map exhibit moves from Room A to Room D. S6 Questions about access changes go to desk extension 204, not the ticket line. S7 The café keeps its usual hours. S8 The west lift remains available. S9 The sculpture garden entrance is unchanged. S10 Printed maps are beside the main desk. S11 The notice applies for the first week of June. S12 Staff will issue a new numbered notice if any fact changes.
- Fixed six-card AI proposal (keep the notice visible for verification): Q1 Monday opening? 09:00, cites S1; Q2 Tuesday opening? 10:00, cites S2; Q3 Saturday opening? 11:00, cites S3; Q4 Ceramic display’s new room? Room C, cites S4; Q5 Map exhibit’s new room? Room D, cites S5; Q6 Access-change contact? extension 204, cites S6. Q4 is false because S4 says Room B; quarantine it, leaving five verified cards for the demonstration.
- Transfer notice for the later no-card check: T1 Wednesday garden opens 08:30. T2 Friday garden opens 09:30. T3 The seed exhibit moves from Bay 2 to Bay 5. T4 Access questions go to desk extension 310. T5 The east gate remains closed. T6 A new numbered notice replaces this one after any change. Ask four questions covering both times, the new bay and the contact.

## 1. Create a clean source

Number the sentences in the fictional notice and record AI version, prompt and data boundary.

Why: Every later answer can point to a stable source sentence.

Success check: Every later answer can point to a stable source sentence.

Accessible alternative: Complete the same research action — “Number the sentences in the fictional notice and record AI version, prompt and data boundary.” — using speech-to-text, text-to-speech, enlarged text, keyboard-only navigation, shorter work blocks or a support person. Preserve this declared check: “Every later answer can point to a stable source sentence.” Do not convert the research task into capability practice.

Alternative relationship: Target preserving when declared check is preserved

## 2. Recall before assistance

Read once, close the notice and write what you remember with confidence.

Why: The unaided baseline is preserved.

Success check: The unaided baseline is preserved; verify it in the numbered museum notice.

Accessible alternative: Complete the same research action — “Read once, close the notice and write what you remember with confidence.” — using speech-to-text, text-to-speech, enlarged text, keyboard-only navigation, shorter work blocks or a support person. Preserve this declared check: “The unaided baseline is preserved; verify it in the numbered museum notice.” Do not convert the research task into capability practice.

Alternative relationship: Target preserving when declared check is preserved

## 3. Ask for source-linked cards

Request one question, short answer and sentence number per fact; forbid facts not present in the notice.

Why: Six proposed cards each cite a sentence.

Success check: Six proposed cards each cite a sentence.

Accessible alternative: Complete “Request one question, short answer and sentence number per fact; forbid facts not present in the notice.” in shorter passes, or use keyboard input, dictation or a support person, while preserving this success check: “Six proposed cards each cite a sentence.” Reduce card count and lengthen delay gradually; do not remove a communication or memory aid to manufacture independence.

Alternative relationship: Target preserving when declared check is preserved

Learner notes:

Completed: [ ]

## 4. Verify every card

Reopen the notice and mark answer and citation correct, incomplete or false. Delete rather than memorise a false card.

Why: Only verified cards enter practice.

Success check: Only verified cards enter practice; verify it in the numbered museum notice.

Accessible alternative: Complete “Reopen the notice and mark answer and citation correct, incomplete or false. Delete rather than memorise a false card.” in shorter passes, or use keyboard input, dictation or a support person, while preserving this success check: “Only verified cards enter practice; verify it in the numbered museum notice.” Use audio, large print, braille or image-supported cards while keeping the source locator.

Alternative relationship: Target preserving when declared check is preserved

Learner notes:

Completed: [ ]

## 5. Retrieve in both directions

Answer question-to-fact and cue-to-source; correct from the notice after each attempt.

Why: The learner can produce the fact and find its source.

Success check: The learner can produce the fact and find its source.

Accessible alternative: Replace spoken or audio cues with visible text, captions or haptic timing while keeping the same sequence and success check. Reduce card count and lengthen delay gradually; do not remove a communication or memory aid to manufacture independence.

Alternative relationship: Target preserving when declared check is preserved

Learner notes:

## 6. Test device-on retrieval

With cards available, record correct answers, latency and citation success on six shuffled questions.

Why: Fast retrieval without a valid source is not scored correct.

Success check: Fast retrieval without a valid source is not scored correct.

Accessible alternative: Complete the same research action — “With cards available, record correct answers, latency and citation success on six shuffled questions.” — using speech-to-text, text-to-speech, enlarged text, keyboard-only navigation, shorter work blocks or a support person. Preserve this declared check: “Fast retrieval without a valid source is not scored correct.” Do not convert the research task into capability practice.

Alternative relationship: Target preserving when declared check is preserved

Learner notes:

Completed: [ ]

## 7. Test delayed unaided memory

After 48 hours, answer the same fact types without AI or cards, then use a new notice for transfer.

Why: Device-on and unaided scores remain separate.

Success check: Device-on and unaided scores remain separate.

Accessible alternative: Complete “After 48 hours, answer the same fact types without AI or cards, then use a new notice for transfer.” in shorter passes, or use keyboard input, dictation or a support person, while preserving this success check: “Device-on and unaided scores remain separate.” Reduce card count and lengthen delay gradually; do not remove a communication or memory aid to manufacture independence.

Alternative relationship: Target preserving when declared check is preserved

## 8. Rehearse system loss

Hide the cards, use the original notice index and record time to recover each critical fact.

Why: A verified non-AI fallback works when the generated aid is unavailable.

Success check: A verified non-AI fallback works when the generated aid is unavailable.

Accessible alternative: Complete the same research action — “Hide the cards, use the original notice index and record time to recover each critical fact.” — using speech-to-text, text-to-speech, enlarged text, keyboard-only navigation, shorter work blocks or a support person. Preserve this declared check: “A verified non-AI fallback works when the generated aid is unavailable.” Do not convert the research task into capability practice.
