“…the illusion that time appears to pass more rapidly in later adulthood than when one was younger (Draaisma, 2004).

“…‘Flashbulb’ memories often contain irrelevant details, that is details that are irrelevant to the main theme(s) of the memory, but are nevertheless part of the way in which the memory has been encoded and is recaptured (Draaisma, ).

Memory is an enormously important resource for the social sciences. This paper takes the subject of maternal memory to examine a corpus of work in the sociology of childbirth concerned with how women remember the experience of childbirth. It suggests that the sociology of memory has been more concerned with collective than individual experiences, and that women's memories of childbirth have generally been treated as a special case, rather than as a route to enhanced understandings of how memory works in relation to the all‐important topics of time, identity and social change. Drawing on data from a 37‐year follow‐up to a study of childbirth conducted in the 1970s, it argues that maternal memory shares key characteristics with other kinds of memory, but can be significant in allowing women to reposition themselves as active social selves in a process that is remembered as not allowing much agency or autonomy.

“…The unpleasant memories of affronts may help 'ensure that our self-image does not stray too far from the reality'. 5 Autobiographical memory in depression Against this background, the psychological concept of 'overgeneral autobiographical memory' (OAM) underscores the distinct nature of such recollections in people with depressive disorders. Indeed, OAM seems to be a risk factor for recurrent depression as well as a poor prognostic indicator.…”
