这期《记忆》特刊聚焦于使用功能性方法研究日常生活中的自传体记忆（AM）的研究。这种方法依赖于研究认知，在这种情况下，AM，考虑到它发生的心理，社会或文化历史背景。感兴趣的领域包括理解AM被个人和社会关系使用的目的，它如何与其他认知能力和情绪状态相关，以及记忆如何代表我们的内心和外部世界。通过这种方法获得的一个见解是，准确性的水平和类型并不总是被视为记忆“失败”，但有时是自我记忆系统的组成部分，为人类活动的各种有意义的目的服务。以前假设AM的功能分为三个广泛的领域：自我，社会和指令。每一个贡献地址AM如何服务于这些功能中的一个或多个，从而检查这三个的有用性和充分性。
This special issue of Memory spotlights research that uses a functional approach to investigate autobiographical memory (AM) in everyday life. This approach relies on studying cognition, in this case AM, taking into account the psychological, social, or cultural-historic context in which it occurs. Areas of interest include understanding to what ends AM is used by individuals and in social relationships, how it is related to other cognitive abilities and emotional states, and how memory represents our inner and outer world. One insight gained-by taking this approach is that levels and types of accuracy need not always be regarded as memory "failures" but are sometimes integral to a self-memory system that serves a variety of meaningful ends of human activity. Previously hypothesised functions of AM fall into three broad domains: self, social, and directive. Each of the contributions addresses how AM serves one or more of these functions and thereby examines the usefulness and adequacy of this trio.
