Autobiographical memory is a type of memory that involves recollection of personal experiences and events from an individual's past. It encompasses memories of specific events, details, and emotions associated with personal experiences, as well as knowledge about oneself and one's life story. Researchers in this area study how autobiographical memories are formed, stored, and retrieved, as well as how they can be influenced by factors such as age, emotion, and culture. Autobiographical memory plays a key role in shaping individuals' identities and sense of self, and understanding its mechanisms can provide insights into cognitive processes, emotional well-being, and psychological disorders.
