摘要怀旧是一种与自传体相关的积极情绪，是对过去的一种感伤的渴望或渴望的感情。自传体记忆是怀旧的认知基础之一，它包括抽象的语义记忆和详细的情节记忆。最近的研究已经定义和分类的记忆，位于语义和情景记忆之间的个人语义。虽然自传体记忆和个人语义学的范围在一个连续体，过去的怀旧研究没有集中或控制他们。在两个实验中，本科生检索情景记忆和个人语义和评级的认知和情感项目。怀旧的强度根据记忆内容的类型和记忆与现在的时间距离而不同。这些结果表明，不仅独特的事件，而且重复的事件和自传事实都会引起怀旧;此外，来自遥远和最近的过去（分别是小学和高中）的重复事件始终会引起相对更大的怀旧，但在某些情况下，它们与其他类型的记忆没有显着差异（即，独特的事件和自传体的事实）。这些研究结果表明，情节记忆和个人语义都参与了怀旧的发生。
ABSTRACT Nostalgia, an autobiographically relevant positive emotion, is a sentimental longing or wistful affection for the past. Autobiographical memory, which is one of the cognitive bases of nostalgia, includes both abstract semantic and detailed episodic memories. Recent studies have defined and classified memories that are located between semantic and episodic memory as personal semantics. Although autobiographical memory and personal semantics range over a continuum, past nostalgia research has not focused on or controlled them. In two experiments, undergraduate students retrieved episodic memory and personal semantics and rated cognitive and affective items. The intensity of nostalgia differed according to the types of memory content and temporal distance of the memory from the present. These results revealed that not only unique events but also repeated events and autobiographical facts induced nostalgia; furthermore, repeated events from both the distant and recent past (primary and high school, respectively) consistently induced relatively greater nostalgia, but in some cases, they were not significantly different from other types of memory (i.e., unique events and autobiographical facts). These findings suggest that both episodic memory and personal semantics are involved in the occurrence of nostalgia.
