“活在历史中”效应是检验历史事件在多大程度上重组了自传体记忆的试金石。LiH效应在两个黎巴嫩样本中进行了研究：一个是生活在黎巴嫩15年内战（1975-1990）震中的贝鲁特样本，另一个是来自比卡地区的样本，他们生活在内战大部分时间间接暴露的地区，但在以色列入侵期间经历了一段短期战争。使用两阶段单词提示任务来引出日期自传式记忆，我们观察到贝鲁特样本的LiH效应显著增强，而比卡样本的LiH效应显著但较弱。除了主要发现外，我们还提供证据表明，LiH效应随着一个地区冲突的程度而消长，报告的战争暴露的个人经历可以预测LiH效应的强度。我们的研究结果表明，在日常生活结构中产生显著变化的集体过渡事件产生了历史上定义的自传体时期，这些时期为个人如何记忆他们的过去提供了结构和组织。
The Living in History (LiH) effect is a litmus test for the degree to which historical events reorganise autobiographical memory. The LiH effect was studied in two Lebanese samples: a Beiruti sample that lived in the epicentre of the 15-year Lebanese Civil War (1975–1990) and another group from the Bi'qa region who lived in an area that was indirectly exposed for most of the civil war but experienced one short-term period of war during the Israeli invasion. Using the two-phase word-cueing task to elicit dated autobiographical memories, we observed a significantly stronger LiH effect in the Beirut sample but also a significant yet weaker LiH effect in the Bi'qa sample. In addition to the main finding we offer evidence that the LiH effect waxes and wanes with the level of conflict in an area and that reported personal experiences of war exposure predict the strength of the LiH effect. Our findings suggest that collective transitional events which produce a marked change in the fabric of daily living engender historically defined autobiographical periods which give structure and organisation to how individuals remember their past.
