On the prevalence of event clusters in autobiographical memory

Article Abstract:

Event clusters are narrative-like memory structures that draw together information about casually and thematically related events. Clusters play an important role in the organization of autobiographical memory and suggest that cluster information is a by-product of the normal processes required to plan, execute, evaluate, and discuss meaningful event sequences.

Giving sight and voice to the blind mutes: An overview of theoretical ideas in autobiographical memory

Article Abstract:

Some people characterize psychologists as 'blind mutes trying to understand the elephant', with each set of scholars understanding only a portion of the problem and unable to communicate their understanding to other scholars. Theories of autobiographical memory provide a powerful counterargument to this metaphor.

In diversity there is strength: An autobiographical memory research sampler

Article Abstract:

Methodological concerns induced early experimental psychologists to shy away from research that used autobiographical memories as stimuli. Consequently, no dominant paradigm or theory developed and the study of autobiographical memories was left to various other subdisciplines of psychology.
