Abstract: | In this paper the nature of the relationship between psychological mechanisms that process semantic information and those
that process autobiographical memory is considered. On the basis of theoretical work by Endel Tulving, and empirical research
into the construction of false memories, a novel model of autobiographical memory construction is proposed. This model is
referred to as the slave model of autobiographical memory and has that the mechanisms responsible for the production of autobiographical
memories are enslaved to those that support semantic information, in the sense that beliefs determine the content of autobiographical
memory. Implications of the model for the potential double dissociation of semantic and episodic memory are considered; as
are recent accounts of autobiographical memory construction. |
