TY - JOUR PY - 1991// TI - Autobiographical memory in natural discourse JO - Applied cognitive psychology A1 - Dritschel, B. h. SP - 319 EP - 330 VL - 5 IS - 4 N2 - This paper discusses the methodological issues involved in studying autobiographical memory in natural discourse. A method is developed herein that is sufficiently versatile to be used to probe various other research questions. The analysis of four equal-length transcripts using this method demonstrates that autobiographical memory units can be reliably distinguished from other personal memory and non-memory idea units. Further, the reliability of subdividing the autobiographical memories into classes is also shown. There is a discussion of how this type of work relates to relevant research in autobiographical memory. The potential application of these results is also described.
