This book provides an overview of the key theoretical and empirical
issues relating to autobiographical memory: the extraordinarily
complex psychological activity that enables us to retrieve, relive
and reappraise our pasts. The first part of the book retraces the
genesis and historical development of the psychology of
autobiographical memory, from the pioneering contributions of
Francis Galton, Victor Henri and Sigmund Freud, to the most recent
research in the fields of cognitivism, cognitive science and
neuroscience. The author then moves on to two key topics in the
contemporary panorama: the content and organisation of
autobiographical memory (what we remember from our lives and how we
link together specific segments of our personal pasts) and the
functions of autobiographical memory (why we remember our pasts).
This book will provide a valuable scholarly overview for cognitive
psychologists and an authoritative critical introduction to the
field for students and scholars from across psychology, philosophy,
literary criticism, sociology and law.
