This book presents the current state of knowledge on autobiographical memory. It begins by defining the topic and reviewing the early research including that by Bartlett, Freud and Galton. It moves on to consider the role of chronology; the relationship between the self and autobiographical memory; and how we retrieve it. It then explores how autobiographical memory develops in children, how it declines in old age, and how it can be impaired in, for instance the clinically depressed. Finally, the author draws together the various aspects of theory outlined, attempts to synthesize these into a summary model, and poses questions for future research.
