“…We asked about the subject's judgment of the importance of the remembered event (Pillemer, 1998); that is, was it an anchor, critical juncture, or turning point in the subject's life? We also asked subjects to estimate the number of times they had previously thought about the memory, because rehearsal, especially spaced rehearsal, improves retention (Bahrick, 1979;Rubin, 1995a), varies for different types of cues (Rubin, Groth, & Goldsmith, 1984), and in many models leads to the development of a schema or to the transfer from episodic to semantic memory.…”

“…Psychologists studying autobiographical memory have tended to have subjects rate the same properties of memories (Johnson, Foley, Suengas, & Raye, 1988;Rubin, Groth, & Goldsmith, 1984;Rubin & Schulkind, 1997;Rubin, Schrauf, & Greenberg, 2003b;Schrauf & Rubin, 2000). Some of the properties, such as visual imagery, can be seen as measures of component processes used in constructing the autobiographical memory, while others, such as a sense of recollection, can be viewed as metacognitive judgements (Greenberg & Rubin, 2003;Rubin et al, 2003b).…”

“…Table 1 provides a list and brief description of our measures along with the brief names to which we refer throughout the text. The concepts tapped by these measures are the ones commonly considered and rated in the autobiographical memory literature (Conway & Pleydell-Pearce, 2000;Johnson, Foley, Suengas, & Raye, 1988;Rubin, Groth, & Goldsmith, 1984;Rubin & Schulkind, 1997;Sheen, Kemp, & Rubin, 2001). Each question is a proxy for one or more complex theories or theoretical ideas (Rubin, 2005).…”

Although the underlying mechanics of autobiographical memory may be identical across cultures, the processing of information differs. Undergraduates from Japan, Turkey, and the U.S.A. rated 30 autobiographical memories on 15 phenomenological and cognitive properties. Mean values were similar across culture, with means from the Japanese sample being lower on most measures but higher on belief in the accuracy of their memories. Correlations within individuals were also similar across cultures, with correlations from the Turkish sample being higher between measures of language and measures of recollection and belief. For all three cultures, in multiple regression analyses, measures of recollection were predicted by visual imagery, auditory imagery, and emotions, whereas measures of belief were predicted by knowledge of the setting. These results show subtle cultural differences in the experience of remembering. Keywords memory; autobiographical memory; recollection; cross culture In psychology, the cross-cultural study of autobiographical memory has focused on two areas: the development of narrative in autobiographical memory (Han, Leichtman, & Wang, 1998;Jin & Naka, 2002;Mullen & Yi, 1995;Wang & Brockmeister, 2002) and the distribution of autobiographical memories across the lifespan (Conway, Wang, Hanyu, & Haque, 2005;Conway & Haque, 1999;Larsen, Schrauf, Fromholt, & Rubin, 2002;Schrauf & Rubin, 2000, 2003. In both these areas one notes the same basic results in different cultures often with small but interpretable modifications for culture or major events in the cultural life of the society.Here we view autobiographical memories as the products of component processes, with each process occurring in a separate behaviorally and neurally defined system. This is the basicsystems model of autobiographical memory summarized in Rubin (2005Rubin ( , 2006 and elaborated in a series of empirical studies Rubin & Greenberg, 1998, 2003Rubin, Schrauf, & Greenberg, 2003;Schrauf, 2000;Schrauf & Please send correspondence to: David C.

This model is distinctive eschewing the notion of abstract, amodal information in the brain and in tracing the components of autobiographical memories (visual imagery, auditory imagery, emotion, language, narrative, and others) to specific systems represented by identifiable areas in the brain. Thus, an autobiographical memory is the result of selectively re-integrating sensory, motor, emotional, and linguistic information from various brain centers into a narrative whole that corresponds to the original binding of some or all of that information at the encoding of the event (Rubin, 2006).In previous work (Rubin, Schrauf, & Greenberg, 2003;Rubin & Siegler, 2004) we provid...
