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

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

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 ...
Experimental manipulations of the phenomenology of memory.

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 ...

Inner speech and bilingual autobiographical memory: a Polish-Danish cross-cultural study.
(Memory, 2002-01)
Thirty years after fleeing from Poland to Denmark, 20 immigrants were enlisted in
a study of bilingual autobiographical memory. Ten "early immigrators" averaged 24
years old at the time of immigration, and ten "late immigrators" ...
Puzzling thoughts for H. M.: can new semantic information be anchored to old semantic memories?
(Neuropsychology, 2004-10)
Researchers currently debate whether new semantic knowledge can be learned and retrieved
despite extensive damage to medial temporal lobe (MTL) structures. The authors explored
whether H. M., a patient with amnesia, could ...
Cultural life scripts structure recall from autobiographical memory.
(Mem Cognit, 2004-04)
Three classes of evidence demonstrate the existence of life scripts, or culturally
shared representations of the timing of major transitional life events. First, a reanalysis
of earlier studies on age norms shows an increase ...
The distribution of early childhood memories.
(Memory, 2000-07)
The quantitative distribution of autobiographical memories for the first decade of
life is described. The distribution, based on over 11,000 autobiographical memories
from age 10 and younger from published studies, is nearly ...
