Open to all Social Sciences staff and students.
The relationship between autobiographical memory and the self is underpinned by a range of cognitive processes. In this talk I will present a set of studies (spanning healthy ageing, dementia and amnesia) supporting the view that autobiographical memories and imagined future events are organised around periods that have particular relevance for the self. Results also suggest that semantic, rather than episodic, autobiographical memories play a key role in supporting self-knowledge – a finding that has important implications for various clinical groups.
