ABSTRACT
For brevity's sake, life review will usually be called ‘review’. The individual whose life experience is the subject of review will be called ‘the narrator’. The target of the narration, usually one or more others, is called ‘the listener’ (such listening is likely to be active, with engagement in dialogue, including seeking clearer expression, prompting, probing, and challenging). As review can be carried out independently, without an external listener, ‘listener’ is occasionally used to denote a narrator self-monitoring.
