The authoress investigated the role of emotional and metacognitive components in the prediction of autobiographical memory and tried to confirm that people use cyclic temporal schema to date the events. Three subjects wrote down two important events every day during three months. Each event was estimated on five scales: arousal, emotionality, importance, length of the sequence and probability of rehearsal. She wondered if those variables would predict accuracy in dating the events. Only age of the events was a good predictor for remembering the events. There was no difference in remembering positive and negative events. Thus a hypothesis stating that people use week schema for the events from near past is confirmed.

The paper reviews research concerning the role of odors as memory tasks context and the possibility of improving retrieval from memory by using odors. First, the notion of 'Proust effect' is introduced, in its large and narrow sense. Next experimental research on the role of odors as memory cues, associated with the to be remembered material or simply present in the room, is presented. In such experiments arbitrary odors are used most often, what may markedly influence the results. Then research concerning odors as retrieval cues for authentic autobiographical memories are the focus of interest. The paper ends with an outline of problems in the investigation of the role of odors for the effectiveness of memory processes.

The paper considers a phenomenon of change of memories affective tone that took place in life of an individual. Most studies indicate that people notice more positive events than negative in their lives. If these events become more distant in time, the effect of fading is observed: memories of negative events fade faster than memories of positive ones. Careful analysis of empirical data suggests that in some cases this process does not take place: it happens in case of dreams and memories of trauma. Two attempts of explanations of the above mentioned relationships are considered: mobilization-minimization hypothesis of Taylor (1981) and suggested by the author concept of memory control.

We are what we remember. Memories give shape to identity on the individual level as well as the social one. Events from the past create personal history, which is put in narration in order to emphasise the coherence of human life and its reasonableness. In this story a special role is played by the recalling subject, who is not always identical with the main character. The most common form of autobiographical narration is expressed in the first person singular. However, sometimes it takes a plural form or seems to be impersonal, particularly if it concerns a character that is significantly different in age or appearance form the speaker. The subject, looking at a photograph of himself/herself, is sometimes surprised and seems to be a totally different person. For analytical purposes a category of the point of view is useful. It helps to describe frequent changes of perspective as regards the presentation of a character and events.

TEORETICKÉ POZNÁMKY K POJMU MEMORÁT V KONTEXTE PSYCHOLÓGIE SPOMIENOK

In this article psychological knowledge of the functioning of autobiographical memory is confronted with folkloristic theories associated with the concept of memorat, which designates narrations of personal experiences with supernatural beings and phenomena. Human memory is not a vessel in which static information is deposited and later retrieved. It is a dynamic process of repeated construction and reconstruction of memories, which is subject to outside influences. This knowledge corresponds to folklorists’ findings: that the elements of traditional ideas are already part of narratives about personal experiences and they are not inevitably a mere result of the changes in stories during their further transmission. The author links the findings of the folklorist Lauri Honko (1964) with the present-day knowledge of psychology concerning so-called false memories. Subsequently, using the results of his own research focused on memorats, he documents this connection.
