Abstract

The main empirical reference on functions of autobiographical memories is still Hyman & Faries (1992) who used the cue-word-method and retrospective judgements. We used diaries to sample naturally occurring autobiographical memories and participants? perceived use of these. Results partly replicate a pattern found by Hyman and Faries, suggest self-related functions to be primary, and indicate possible gender differences
