Properties of word cues for autobiographical memory.
Abstract
A sample of 124 words were used to cue autobiographical memories in 120 adults varying
in age from 20 to 73 years. Individual words reliably cued autobiographical memories
of different ages with different speeds. For all age groups, words rated high in imagery
produced older memories and faster reaction times.
