对于以文字为线索的自传体记忆，老年人从10岁到30岁有一个增长或颠簸。所有年龄组的儿童记忆都比其他年份少，最近10年的记忆具有幂函数保持功能。几十年来，反应时间和评定量表反应没有一致的差异。具体的词语提示了较早的记忆，但这些提示的属性并不能预测哪些记忆会来自撞击。20岁和35岁的参与者给出的5个最重要的记忆的分布与他们的文字线索记忆相似，但70岁的参与者给出的记忆大多来自20至30岁的单一十年。没有任何理论能完全解释这个肿块。
For word-cued autobiographical memories, older adults had an increase, or bump, from the ages 10 to 30. All age groups had fewer memories from childhood than from other years and a power-function retention function for memories from the most recent 10 years. There were no consistent differences in reaction times and rating scale responses across decades. Concrete words cued older memories, but no property of the cues predicted which memories would come from the bump. The 5 most important memories given by 20- and 35-year-old participants were distributed similarly to their word-cued memories, but those given by 70-year-old participants came mostly from the single 20-to-30 decade. No theory fully accounts for the bump.
