ABSTRACT
For the last 15 years, we have collected diaries to study autobiographical memory. The diaries typically consist of one personal event recorded each day over periods ranging from one month to 2½ years. We now have more than 400 such diaries. This book presents the data garnered from those diaries along with our view of autobiographical memory. It should come as no surprise that our view is heavily influenced by our diary data but, of course, we also draw on the rich vein of research on autobiographical memory carried out in other laboratories.
