Abstract: Rubin et al. (Cognit Ther Res 34:35-48, 2010) demonstrated that completing autobiographical memory questionnaires about a very negative event leads to decreases in levels of distress related to that event. However, a limitation of their methodology was that perhaps completing the memory questionnaire about any autobiographical memory could produce the reported effects. In the current study, 238 participants nominated a very negative and a very positive event from their lives. Participants were then randomly … Show more

“…Facilitation produced by repeated testing has important repercussions for learning text material in educational contexts (Roediger & Karpicke, 2006), can consolidate the recall of details in eyewitness-memory situations (García-Bajos et al, 2009), or buttress the learning of a range of skills and abilities. Our study on the selective retrieval of past and future autobiographical experiences contributes relevant ideas for application in therapies using the retrieval of positive autobiographical experiences to reinforce self-improvement and alleviate low mood and negative affect (see Boals, Hathaway, & Rubin, 2011; Werner-Seidler & Moulds, 2012). The effectiveness of inhibitory processes in suppressing experiences can help block repetitive intrusive memories after traumatic or emotionally negative experiences (Küpper, Benoit, Dalgleish, & Anderson, 2014) and even reduce negative future expectations.…”
