Autobiographical memory, autonoetic consciousness and self-perspective in aging
Article Abstract:
A semistructured autobiographic questionnaire that assessed each participant's ability to recall both general information (semantic component) and detailed specific events situated in time and space (episodic component) was administered to 180 participants in the age group of 40-79 years. It demonstrated that episodic autobiographical memory (AM) declines with age and remoteness but there is an increase in semanticized memories proving the existence of semantic-episodic dissociation in autobiographical memory in aging.
