我们描述了一项研究，在这项研究中，年轻和年长的孟加拉国参与者回忆并标注了他们一生中的自传式记忆。随后，根据参与者在编码时的年龄绘制记忆图。正如预期的那样，我们观察到了对10到30岁期间的记忆的优先回忆。这在年轻的一组中非常明显，但在年龄较大的一组中不那么明显，他们在35岁到55岁之间也出现了第二次隆起。第二次高峰与巴基斯坦和孟加拉人民之间的民族冲突时期相对应，导致了一个独立的孟加拉国的形成。有人提出，回忆的激增和后来回忆的意外上升都可以通过提高记忆集的可及性来解释，而这反过来又是高度自我相关经验的特权编码的产物。
We describe a study in which young and older groups of Bangladeshi participants recalled and dated autobiographical memories from across the lifespan. Memories were subsequently plotted in terms of the age of participants at time of encoding. As expected the reminiscence bump, preferential recall of memories from the period of 10 to 30 years of age, was observed. This was very marked in the younger group and but less so in the older group who also showed a second bump in the period 35 to 55 years of age. This second bump corresponded to the period of national conflict between Pakistan and the Bengalee people that resulted in the formation of an independent Bangladesh. It is proposed that both the reminiscence bump and later periods of unexpected rises in recall can be accounted for by the raised accessibility of sets of memories and this in turn is a product of the privileged encoding of highly self-relevant experiences.
