Mem. # The Importance of Memory. Mothers who are more elaborate when reminiscing with their children about their personal experiences (e.g., playdate or school trip) tend to have children who are more specific and coherent, concurrently and over time (Fivush and Fromhoff, 1988; Valentino, 2011; McDonnell et al., 2016). In a second section, we will discuss the different results from the perspective of two theoretical frameworks of prospective memory research, preparatory attentional and memory processes theory (PAM; Smith, 2003) and the multiprocess model (McDaniel and Einstein, 2000), in order to clarify the underlying mechanisms of importance effects. doi: 10.1080/02699939208411056, Cole, G., Tucker, L., and Friedman, G.

The difficulty of the prospective memory task can also be varied, for example by using multiple prospective memory targets (cf.

Additionally, given the similarities between memory specificity and contextual coherence, it is possible that memory specificity in fact is a subcomponent of memory coherence. The latter was manipulated by presenting word pairs, which were either strongly or weakly associated (i.e., high or low associations). Whereas patients suffering from episodic amnesia show deficits in recalling specific past events, they are still able to create coherent narratives if sufficient details are provided to them.

Even if one changes, these changes are explained and understood through experiences of growth that lead to new perspectives on self. Additionally, different research fields that study memory coherence, have used different coding schemes to assess coherence within personal narratives. Autobiographical memory forms a network of memories about personal experiences that defines and supports well-being and effective functioning of the self in various ways. J. Psychol. Appl.

We will make a first attempt at a theoretical integration by positioning both memory specificity and memory coherence within Conway and Pleydell-Pearce’s Self-Memory System. Mem. General events are more specific than lifetime periods and are composed of clusters of repeated events or sequences of related events that share a certain theme (e.g., driving to class in the mornings).

Received: 26 March 2014; Paper pending published: 30 April 2014; Accepted: 08 June 2014; Published online: 26 June 2014. As we mentioned earlier, creating coherent narratives about personal experiences facilitates emotion regulation (Pennebaker, 1997; Fivush and Baker-Ward, 2005). Research on these two features developed throughout the past few decades as two largely independent research domains, with a more cognitive and psychopathological approach to the study of memory specificity and a more developmental approach to memory coherence. Furthermore, since the memory coherence literature has taken more of a developmental approach throughout the years, several remaining questions regarding the dynamics between coherence and psychopathology remain present. Dev. Two possible explanations can be formulated for these discrepancies. Appl. Dev. doi: 10.1080/13825580903281308. However, importantly, the studies that have investigated the effect of relative importance have not included a control condition, in which neither the importance of the prospective memory task nor the ongoing task is emphasized. doi: 10.1080/741938209, Fivush, R., and Fromhoff, F. (1988). Besides unresolved theoretical questions, there are some methodological issues. Additionally, difficulty remembering specific past experiences also relates to difficulty picturing specific future events and setting goals for the future (Belcher and Kangas, 2014). Altgassen et al., 2010; Brandimonte et al., 2010). J. Mem. (1996). Psychol. 45, 151–162.

Thus, manipulations that aim at increasing intrinsic motivation may enhance prospective memory performance without interfering with the ongoing task. 17, 675–693. Incentive effects in prospective remembering. We will elaborate on this motivational account of prospective memory performance in the next section. The latter is represented by the life story schema, which is situated at the top layer of the Self-Memory System. Mother-child discourse about a child’s past behavior at 30-months and early socioemotional development at age 3. Psychol. Participants were engaged in an ongoing visuo-spatial working-memory task and they had the additional instruction to press a designated key every 2 min as the prospective memory task. Sommerville et al. Lang. Rummel, J., Einstein, G. O., and Rampey, H. (2012). Besides rumination, functional avoidance of the potentially negative and overwhelming emotions memories can evoke, also plays a role in the development of overgeneral memory. Therefore, absolute importance instructions could also enhance prospective memory performance due to automatic retrieval and critically would not necessarily come at costs in the ongoing task (see Figure 2 for an illustration). Acad. Consequently, we have to take into account differences regarding the type of prospective memory task, cognitive load, and potential processing overlaps. This kind of importance manipulation has been referred to as dual-task-prioritizing (cf. Thus, intrinsic motivation may enable the automatic retrieval of a prospective memory task and therefore importance manipulations must not necessarily be accompanied by a cost in the ongoing task performance (e.g., Penningroth and Scott, 2007). The editor and reviewers' affiliations are the latest provided on their Loop research profiles and may not reflect their situation at the time of review. doi: 10.1016/j.concog.2012.09.003, Meier, B., von Wartburg, P., Matter, S., Rothen, N., and Reber, R. (2011). No limitations about the duration of the event are imposed. Although the Self-Memory System is just one of many available theoretical models, we have chosen this model because it offers an interesting theoretical framework to look at how memory specificity and memory coherence could potentially be integrated. Psychol. A straight-forward explanation is that insufficient cognitive resources are available for the prospective memory task. The structure of this integrative network is illustrated in Conway and Pleydell-Pearce’s Self-Memory System (Conway and Pleydell-Pearce, 2000; Conway et al., 2004).

Creating coherent narratives about negative or stressful events makes it possible to express and regulate the related thoughts and emotions and, eventually, come to some sort of resolution or closure (Pennebaker, 1997; Fivush and Baker-Ward, 2005). Cogn. doi: 10.3758/BF03198155, Niedźwieńska, A., Janik, B., and Jarczyńska, A. This could be explained by the fact that negative or stressful experiences imply a problem that must be solved, which in turn may lead to more efforts to construct coherent narratives about the events in order to understand and create meaning out of them (Fivush et al., 2008). To understand more about how your sleep is affected, download the “ Unlocking the Pillars of Health ” eBook. As we mentioned earlier, creating a stable and continuous sense of self is key to a healthy identity development, which is an important developmental task during adolescence (Erikson, 1968; McAdams, 1985). Experimental dual-task paradigms, however, can elucidate the specific role that working memory plays in solving arithmetic problems. Br. For example, a word which is seen (in a book) may be stored if it is changed (encoded) into a sound or a meaning (i.e. (2011) proposed their multidimensional model of coherence, there have been very few studies directly comparing these dimensions in terms of their association with well-being and psychopathology (Waters et al., 2013a; Rubin et al., 2016b). doi: 10.1037/1528-3542.3.3.211, Ehring, T., Ehlers, A., and Glucksman, E. (2008). The authors would like to thank Matt E. Graci and Dr. Robyn Fivush (Emory University) for their feedback on this manuscript. In addition, the load of the ongoing task was manipulated by asking the participants to perform an additional auditory digit detection task. doi: 10.3758/BF03193447, Marsh, R. L., Hancock, T. W., and Hicks, J. L. (2002). The manner in which this reminiscing occurs, especially in the context of mother-child reminiscing, relates to the child’s memory coherence and well-being (see Fivush et al., 2006 for a review). The goal of this paper is therefore to point out the exciting research possibilities that can come from integrating coherence and specificity and explain why and how both research fields could benefit from such integration in future research. 22, 72–80. doi: 10.3758/BF03193448, Meacham, J. Accordingly, the more important intention is more likely to be remembered. J. Abnorm. Psychol. Child Adolesc. Future studies should systematically investigate the influence of the impact and the interplay of type of importance manipulation, type of prospective memory task, cognitive loads, and processing overlaps on prospective memory as well as on ongoing task performance (see also Supplementary Table 1). Second, autobiographical memory facilitates the creation and maintenance of a social network through reminiscing with others. doi: 10.1007/s00426-008-0223-x, Meier, B., and Graf, P. (2000). First of all, there remains a lack of clarity about which subcomponent of memory coherence (i.e., context, chronology, or theme) is more or most important for the self. doi: 10.1037/a0037845, Nolen-Hoeksema, S.

Half of the children were allowed to select a reward (e.g., goldfish crackers, goldfish pretzels, pennies, or fruit chews) and they were told that they would get one each time they correctly performed the prospective memory task. The influence of eating psychopathology on autobiographical memory specificity and social problem-solving. There was no interaction between age and importance manipulation. A developmental psychopathology model of overgeneral autobiographical memory. 24, 116–125. Mem. In addition to their specificity, autobiographical memories also differ in their overall internal structure, i.e., memory coherence. Critically, this improvement neither did come at costs in the ongoing task nor at an increased time-checking behavior. Smith and Bayen (2004) specifically focused on monitoring costs triggered by emphasizing either the relative importance of the prospective memory or the ongoing task. doi: 10.1207/S15327647JCD0301_5, Foa, E. B., Molnar, C., and Cashman, L. (1995). Evans, J., Williams, J. M. G., O’Loughlin, S., and Howells, K. (1992). For this integration section, we based ourselves on Conway and Pleydell-Pearce’s Self-Memory System, which offers a potential framework to look at the relationship between memory specificity and memory coherence and how they relate to the self. This can be taken as further evidence that importance effects are based on different routes toward remembering which may be driven by extrinsic or intrinsic motivation. doi: 10.1037/0278-7393.16.4.717. Pillemer, D. B. Articles. doi: 10.1037/abn0000154. According to PAM, successfully remembering to perform a prospective memory task always comes at a cost in the ongoing task, because “preparatory attentional processes” are required to detect a prospective memory target. Memory 11, 165–178. 36, 449–451. Nevertheless, it happens that somebody forgets an intention although it is really important. This paradigm-driven nature of the memory specificity literature created methodological benefits by facilitating comparisons between studies from different research groups, but it also raised some important theoretical questions. This is particularly important when faced with negative or stressful experiences, since such experiences can make the individual vulnerable for developing various psychological problems (e.g., Cole et al., 1990; Kessler, 1997; Kendler et al., 2003). Author's Bio: Improving our memory is very crucial to our life. By doing this, the individual differentiates oneself from others (Beike et al., 2016). (2008, Experiment 2) also investigated whether the effect of relative importance on monitoring costs is dependent on the actual occurrence of prospective memory targets. As we mentioned earlier, for a memory to be situated at the most specific level in the Self-Memory System, it must refer to a single event and it has to be rich in sensory and perceptual detail. Importance was induced by telling half of the participants that an important telephone call for the experimenter was waiting (i.e., social motive). doi: 10.1080/741938207, PubMed Abstract | CrossRef Full Text | Google Scholar, Alea, N., and Bluck, S.

C., and Steffens, M. C. (2011). This relationship between intimacy and sharing specific memories appears to be bidirectional, since feeling close to someone facilitates sharing specific personal memories. J. Fam. Moreover, there are two studies in which monitoring costs were measured (Brandimonte et al., 2010; Kliegel et al., 2010), but no monitoring costs occurred.

Through autobiographical reasoning, specific and coherent memories will be connected and integrated into a coherent life story schema. According to the multiprocess model, in some cases, prospective memory performance is enhanced due to a change in resource allocation policies (e.g., when producing importance by providing a reward depending on prospective memory performance or by a relative importance manipulation), but in other cases it is enhanced due to automatic retrieval (e.g., when producing importance by providing a social motive or by an absolute importance manipulation). Last but not least, we would like to get back to the question raised in the title of this article. Ślusarczyk and Niedźwieńska, 2013). Brain Theory 4, 247–263. Copyright © 2014 Walter and Meier. Memory Concepts Below are some articles concerning some memory concepts. This difficulty retrieving specific memories remains present whilst in remission. (2012). 32, 34–48. Psychol. As we pointed out earlier, besides inconsistencies in the literature, several questions concerning the relationship between memory coherence and internalizing symptoms and disorders remain unanswered. Figure 2. Instead of retrieving specific memories as instructed, they responded more frequently with overgeneral memories such as categorical memories (i.e., the memory refers to a class of generic events) or extended memories (i.e., the described event lasted longer than 1 day) (Williams and Broadbent, 1986). Memory 18, 88–98. 18, 140–157. This tendency to recall general rather than specific memories has likewise been observed in individuals suffering from PTSD.

Furthermore, higher prospective memory task attractiveness also enhanced prospective memory performance (Sommerville et al., 1983; Kliegel et al., 2010; Ślusarczyk and Niedźwieńska, 2013). Einstein et al., 2005; Cohen et al., 2008). As we discussed earlier, memory coherence enables creating meaning out of a negative or stressful event and regulating the related cognitions and emotions. Finally, event-specific knowledge refers to perceptual and sensory-rich information about single personal experiences (e.g., my thesis defense). J. Exp. So, memory specificity facilitates practical problem solving, whereas memory coherence promotes the process of emotional problem solving. doi: 10.3200/JRLP.142.5.517-532, Kliegel, M., Brandenberger, M., and Aberle, I.

Besides being more coherent when reminiscing with others later in life (e.g., Fivush and Fromhoff, 1988), children from elaborative mothers also tend to have a more coherent and consistent self-concept (Welch-Ross et al., 1999; Bird and Reese, 2006) and a more advanced emotional understanding (Laible, 2004). As we mentioned earlier, autobiographical memory serves the self in different ways; through self-guidance, self in relation, self-identity, and self-regulation. Responses to depression and their effects on the duration of depressive episodes. Einstein, G. O., and McDaniel, M. A. Loft and Yeo (2007, Experiment 2) investigated relative importance and the relation between prospective memory targets and responses (i.e., a cue-content overlap, cf. These similarities make us therefore wonder how these two features of autobiographical memory relate to each other. Psychol. The prospective memory task was to send a letter to the researcher on 8 different days over a period of 8 weeks. Lifetime periods represent certain periods in a person’s life with a clear beginning and ending that have distinctive thematic features (e.g., my time at the University of Leuven). Gen. Psychiatry 60, 789–796. doi: 10.1111/j.1469-7610.2010.02340.x, Scott, J., Stanton, B., Garland, A., and Ferrier, I. N. (2000). When referring to a previous break-up and stating when this took place relative to the anniversary, the individual places the experience within a broader timeframe, making the narrative chronologically coherent. Cogn. 21, 456–466. Is time for you to realize how important your memory is to your life and how a bad memory can negatively affect your life and the ones around you. By creating a coherent narrative about the negative experience, the individual will be able to create meaning and come to some sort of resolution (e.g., the realization that the current experience is not as negative as originally thought, changing goals to better fit the current circumstances, etc. Additionally, the memory contains subjective information such as the emotions and cognitions that were evoked by the experience (i.e., theme). To recapitulate, memory coherence is associated with emotional problem solving, creating a personal identity, and establishing and maintaining a social network. Style and structure in mother child conversations about the past. 143, 87–96. The only difference was that they asked participants to hang up the telephone after 5 min and then to return to the ongoing task which turned the prospective memory task into a time-based prospective memory task. Integrating both research domains offers, in our opinion, new and exciting possibilities for future research. The most important question, in our opinion, being what the AMT actually measures. Smith and Hunt (2014) investigated age-effects of relative importance instructions. Burgess, 2000). Psychol. Effect of motivational incentives on prospective memory performance in preschoolers. Integration of these research domains offers new and exciting possibilities for future research and could result in new insights that enhance our understanding of the relationship between autobiographical memory and the self. Baars, B. J., and Mattson, M. E. (1981). In so doing, Tulving and Craik adopt an overtly cognitive neuroscience—as distinct from a functionalist, ‘black box’ or purely cognitive—perspective on memory. (2012). J. Trauma Stress 8, 675–690. 36, 21–31. 3, 27–38. Research on the association between memory coherence and internalizing symptoms yielded inconsistent findings. We have identified several different importance manipulations such as providing rewards, relative importance instructions, absolute importance instructions, and providing a social motive. This is, in our opinion, quite surprising since there seem to be similarities between both when comparing both literatures. The rise and decline of prospective memory performance across the lifespan.

E. A., and Zaman, W. (2011). Cogn. However, there are still some outstanding questions and inconsistencies regarding the association between memory coherence and psychopathology, which we will discuss in more detail below. Narrative construction is intact in episodic amnesia. doi: 10.1037/cns0000109, Reese, E. (2008). This supports the assumption that automatic retrieval can occur due to an enhanced association between a prospective memory target and the prospective memory task (Altgassen et al., 2010; Brandimonte et al., 2010). Whether elaboration positively predicts memory specificity and memory coherence depends on mother–child attachment status. Internalizing symptoms form a rather heterogeneous group of symptoms (i.e., depression and anxiety-related symptoms) and it is possible that memory incoherence only relates to the presence of one of these two, which could explain the inconsistent findings.
