The normative and the personal life: individual differences in life scripts and life story events among USA and Danish undergraduates.
(Memory, 2009-01)
Life scripts are culturally shared expectations about the order and timing of life
events in a prototypical life course. American and Danish undergraduates produced
life story events and life scripts by listing the seven ...
Internal languages of retrieval: the bilingual encoding of memories for the personal past.
(Mem Cognit, 2000-06)
In contrast to most research on bilingual memory that focuses on how words in either
lexicon are mapped onto memory for objects and concepts, we focus on memory for events
in the personal past. Using a word-cue technique ...
Activation in mesolimbic and visuospatial neural circuits elicited by smoking cues: evidence from functional magnetic resonance imaging.
(Am J Psychiatry, 2002-06)
OBJECTIVE: The authors sought to increase understanding of the brain mechanisms involved
in cigarette addiction by identifying neural substrates modulated by visual smoking
cues in nicotine-deprived smokers. METHOD: Event-related ...
Cross-cultural variability of component processes in autobiographical remembering: Japan, Turkey, and the USA.
(Memory, 2007-07)
Although the underlying mechanics of autobiographical memory may be identical across
cultures, the processing of information differs. Undergraduates from Japan, Turkey,
and the USA rated 30 autobiographical memories on 15 ...
Twins dispute memory ownership: a new false memory phenomenon.
(Mem Cognit, 2001-09)
In three experiments, we examined a new memory phenomenon: disputed memories, in which
people dispute ownership of a memory. For example, in one disputed memory each of
two twins recollected being sent home from school for ...
Co-activation of the amygdala, hippocampus and inferior frontal gyrus during autobiographical memory retrieval.
(Neuropsychologia, 2005)
Functional MRI was used to investigate the role of medial temporal lobe and inferior
frontal lobe regions in autobiographical recall. Prior to scanning, participants generated
cue words for 50 autobiographical memories and ...
Emotional intensity predicts autobiographical memory experience.
(Mem Cognit, 2004-10)
College students generated autobiographical memories from distinct emotional categories
that varied in valence (positive vs. negative) and intensity (high vs. low). They
then rated various perceptual, cognitive, and emotional ...
Experimental manipulations of the phenomenology of memory.
(Mem Cognit, 2003-09)
We investigated the effects of visual input at encoding and retrieval on the phenomenology
of memory. In Experiment 1, participants took part in events with and without wearing
blindfolds, and later were shown a video of ...
Visual memory loss and autobiographical amnesia: a case study.
(Neuropsychologia, 2005)
Amnesia typically results from trauma to the medial temporal regions that coordinate
activation among the disparate areas of cortex that represent the information that
make up autobiographical memories. We proposed that ...
Life scripts help to maintain autobiographical memories of highly positive, but not highly negative, events.
(Mem Cognit, 2003-01)
A representative sample of 1,307 respondents between the ages of 20 and 94 was asked
how old they were when they felt most afraid, most proud, most jealous, most in love,
and most angry. They were also asked when they had ...
