Classification of general and personal semantic details in the Autobiographical Interview
2020, NeuropsychologiaCitation Excerpt :Nonetheless, our findings support the distinction between different types of semantic content (Grilli et al., 2018; Grilli and Verfaellie, 2014, 2016; Marquine et al., 2016; Renoult et al., 2012, 2015; 2016; Tanguay et al., 2018; Klein and Lax, 2010), particularly autobiographical facts (“I lived on Broke street”, “I have 2 children”). The dominance of autobiographical facts in our participants’ transcripts suggests that these basic but objective knowledge elements are essential aspects of our personal memories (Conway, 2005), resembling a skeletal autobiography (Warrington and McCarthy, 1988). As noted by Grilli and Verfaellie (2016), autobiographical facts are a relatively heterogeneous category, with some experience-near knowledge including spatio-temporal contextual information (“It was the first time that I had gone to Paris”), but also experience-far and more abstract knowledge (e.g., “I was born in Paris”).
Episodic and Semantic Memory
2017, Learning and Memory: A Comprehensive ReferenceThe MNESIS model: Memory systems and processes, identity and future thinking
2016, NeuropsychologiaCitation Excerpt :Neuropsychological investigations have supported this distinction between the episodic and semantic memory systems, notably double dissociations. Findings in amnesic patients with preservation of personal semantic memory, but strongly impaired episodic autobiographical memory, suggested that the hippocampus is critical for episodic memory, but not semantic memory (patient SS: Cermak and O’Connor, 1983; RFR: Warrington and McCarthy, 1988; PS: Hodges and McCarthy, 1993). Conversely, patients with SD show semantic memory impairment but relatively unimpaired episodic memory.
