“…We used the autobiographical memory-cueing task originated by Galton (1879) and later modified by Crovitz and Schiffman (1974) and Robinson (1976) to test memory for personal episodes. In this task, participants were presented with cue words.…”

“…They were instructed to recall for each cue a specific personal event related to the cue from any time in their past. The 24 cues were common English words, randomly selected from the set of 48 cue words presented by Robinson (1976). The cues included 8 affect words (e.g., lonely, surprised), 8 object words (e.g., car, river) and 8 activity words (e.g., run, visit).…”

The authors present the case of W.J., who, as a result of a head injury, temporarily lost access to her episodic memory. W.J. was asked both during her amnesia and following its resolution to make trait judgments about herself. Because her responses when she could access episodic memories were consistent with her responses when she could not, the authors conclude that the loss of episodic memory did not greatly affect the availability of her trait self-knowledge. The authors discuss how neuropsychological evidence can contribute to theorizing about personality and social processes.

“…Specific memories take longer to retrieve in response to affect cues than they do to activity and object cues (Robinson, 1976) or lifetime periods (Conway & Bekerian, 1987), and although Linton (1986) placed valence at the top of her hierarchy, she found emotion labels themselves to be very poor memory cues, as others have also found (Beike, Adams & Wirth-Beaumont, 2007;Reiser, Black & Abelson, 1985).…”

“…In recall experiments, subjects are asked to describe one past event. To trigger the recall, subjects are given a word (Robinson 1976) or group of words (Crovitz and Schiffman 1974). Such experiments are often used to measure the past time period for which episodic memory retrieval has been degraded and the degree of degradation (Kensinger et al 2001).…”

Perception-Action Cycle

Natural selection pressures have resulted in the physical resources of the brain being organized into modules that perform different general types of information processes. Each module is made up of submodules performing different information processes of the general type, and each submodule is made up of yet more detailed modules. At the highest level, modules correspond with major anatomical structures like the cortex, hippocampus, basal ganglia, cerebellum etc. In the cortex, for example, the more detailed modules include areas, columns, neurons, and a series of neuron substructures down to molecules. Any one memory or learning phenomenon requires many information processes performed by many different anatomical structures. However, the modular structure makes it possible to describe a memory phenomenon at a high (psychological) level in terms of the information processes performed by the major anatomical structures. The same phenomenon can be described at each level in a hierarchy of more detailed descriptions, in terms of the information processes performed by anatomical substructures. At higher levels, descriptions are approximate but can be mapped to more detailed, more precise descriptions as required down to neuron levels and below. The total information content of a high level description is small enough that it can be fully understood. Small parts of a high level phenomenon, when described at a more detailed level, also have a small enough information content to be understood. The information processes and resultant hierarchy of descriptions therefore make it possible to understand cognitive phenomena like episodic, semantic or working memory in terms of neuron processes via a series of intermediate levels of description.
