理论认为，自传体记忆有几个广泛的功能(指导性、自我和社会)。在本研究中，项目来源于理论文献，编制了关于生活体验的思考(TALE)问卷，对这三种功能进行了实证评估。参与者(N=167)完成了TALF。为了检验收敛效度，他们还对自己思考和谈论过去的总体倾向进行了评分，并完成了记忆功能量表(Webster，1997)。这些结果支持了这些理论功能的存在，但也为进一步思考自传体记忆功能的广泛性和特殊性提供了改进的空间。
Theories hold that autobiographical memory serves several broad functions (directive, self, and social). In the current study, items were derived from the theoretical literature to create the Thinking About Life Experiences (TALE) questionnaire to empirically assess these three functions. Participants (N = 167) completed the TALF. To examine convergent validity, they also rated their overall tendency to think about and to talk about the past and completed the Reminiscence Functions Scale (Webster, 1997). The results lend support to the existence of these theoretical functions, but a I so offer room for refinements in future thinking about both the breadth and specificity of the functions that autobiographical memory serves.
