Although autobiographical memory is central to human cognition and memory, and important for our sense of self and psychological well-being, it remains poorly understood. Across five years and fifteen experiments, this project provides the first test of a major theory of autobiographical memory and examines cognitive control processes that inhibit or facilitate access to memories of the past. The project will significantly extend our understanding of the nature and function of personal memory, provide data relevant to debates about forgetting in clinical disorders, and refine a theory that can guide future investigations in this area.

虽然自传体记忆是人类认知和记忆的核心，对我们的自我意识和心理健康很重要，但人们对它的了解仍然很少。在五年和十五个实验中，这个项目提供了自传体记忆的主要理论的第一个测试，并检查了抑制或促进访问过去记忆的认知控制过程。该项目将大大扩展我们对个人记忆的性质和功能的理解，提供与临床疾病中遗忘辩论相关的数据，并完善可以指导该领域未来研究的理论。
