The Dynamics of Autobiographical Memory: Using the Lim - Life Line Interview Method [With CDROM]

By Johannes J. Schroots and Marian H. Assink

Based upon a 5-year longitudinal research study using the LIM - Life-line Interview Method, in which young, middle-aged, and older men and women were interviewed three times, this book provides a completely new perspective on the dynamics of both retrospective and prospective memory. What is recalled, how it is evaluated, and the relationships between gender, age, and memory over the course of life are reported, as is the "bump effect" demonstrated using the LIM, with older adults recalling a disproportionate number of events from adolescence and early adulthood, thus contradicting classical views of life-long memory.
