o autobiographical memories
Identify THREE major autobiographical memories, and look for organizing themes (first-time experiences, traumatic events, etc.). For each of the three, discuss why each event was remembered so vividly. THEN compare these results with research described in your text on pages 197-201.
o My suggestion is for you to take each of your three memories…classify them in a way you’re comfortable with them. Then take each of the Long Term theories and show how your memory either lines up with the theory or does not. I’d suggest using headings for each of the three theories (semantic, episodic, autobiographical). I’d use headings and subheadings to make it understandable.
