Article Abstract:
Argument regarding the autobiographical memory that can be conceptualized as a mental state resulting from the interplay of a set of psychological capacities such as self reflection, self-agency, self-ownership and personal temporality is presented. It is shown that the self-reflection, agency, ownership, personal temporality are individually necessary and jointly sufficient for autobiographical memorial experience.
