  • Potto-biographical memory ≈ autobiographical memory

    Open AccessNorman Brown, Norman R Brown et al.ARTICLEMemory2026

    The present study was designed to investigate the proposition that personal-event memories and fictional-event memories are retrieved and structured, on the event level, in much the same way. We conducted three experiments using established methods for studying Autobiographical Memory (AM). Experiments 1 and 2 employed a timed word-cueing task with retrieval-strategy reports. All three experiments used an event-cueing task, collecting RTs, strate…

  • The Covid-19 pandemic as autobiographical period

    Öykü Ekinci, Norman Brown et al.ARTICLEMemory2024

    The COVID-19 Pandemic is undoubtedly one of the most impactful and ubiquitous public events in recent history. In this study, we focused on how it affected the organisation of autobiographical memory by examining how often individuals referred to the COVID-19 Pandemic while estimating the date of their autobiographical memories. To that end, we collected word-cued memories from the recent past, event dating protocols, COVID-relatedness ratings, a…

  • Mnemonic scaffolds vary in effectiveness for serial recall

    Felicitas E Kluger, Debby M Oladimeji et al.ARTICLEMemory2022

    Memory champions remember vast amounts of information in order and at first encounter by associating each study item to an anchor within a scaffold - a pre-learned, structured memory. The scaffold provides direct-access retrieval cues. Dominated by the familiar-route scaffold (Method of Loci), researchers have little insight into what characteristics of scaffolds make them effective, nor whether individual differences might play a role. We compar…

  • Living in history and by the cultural life script

    Open AccessAlexandra M Opriș, Laura Visu-Petra et al.ARTICLEMemory Studies2022References: 5

    In the current study, we investigated the organization of autobiographical memory in view of the Living-in-History effect, which is visible when personal memory and historical memory become intertwined. We investigated how often participants dated their own personal recollections with reference to important historical events (such as the Fall of Communism). Furthermore, we also examined whether cultural life script events served as a prominent st…

  • Exploring People’s Reaction and Perceived Issues of the Covid-19 Pandemic at Its Onset

    Open AccessEamin Heanoy, Ezra H Nadler et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2021

    The experience of the COVID-19 Pandemic has varied considerably from individual-to-individual. Little is known about the changes in the level of experience general people went through during the first few months after the coronavirus (COVID-19) was declared as a Pandemic. This longitudinal qualitative study explores the general public's reports of their experience with the COVID-19 Pandemic during its early stage. An online survey was conducted u…

  • Assessing the Impact of “The Collapse” on the Organization and Content of Autobiographical Memory in the Former Soviet Union

    Open AccessVeronika V Nourkova, Norman Brown et al.ARTICLEJournal of Social Issues2015Cited by: 3References: 24

    It can be argued that the Collapse of the Soviet Union was the most important historical event of the past 50 years. This study assessed the mnemonic impact of this event in Russia, Azerbaijan, and Uzbekistan. It involved three tasks. First, participants thought aloud as dated autobiographical events. Second, they drew a personal timeline. Finally, they answered questions concerning the psychological and material consequences of the Collapse. Acr…

  • Public events and the organization of autobiographical memory

    Norman Brown, Peter J LeeARTICLEBehavioral Sciences of Terrorism…2010Cited by: 3References: 8

    In this article, we summarize a cross‐national research programme, the Living‐in‐History Project, investigating the impact of war, terrorism and natural disaster on the organization of autobiographical memory. More specifically, the aims of this project were: (a) to develop a method for assessing the impact of public events on autobiographical memory; (b) to determine whether there are systemic group differences in the relationship between these …

  • Estimating number of lifetime sexual partners

    Norman Brown, Norman R Brown et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Sex Research1999Cited by: 38References: 5

    On surveys, men report two to four times as many lifetime opposite‐sex sexual partners (SPs) as women. However, these estimates should be equivalent because each new sexual partner for a man is also a new sexual partner for a woman. The source of this discrepancy was investigated in this study. Participants reported number of lifetime and past‐year SPs and estimation strategies. The pattern of lifetime estimates replicated. The lifetime protocols…
