Abstrakt: Objectives: While voluntary memories are intended and expected, involuntary memories are retrieved with no intention and are usually unexpected (when one is not waiting for a memory). The present study investigates the effects of retrieval intentionality ( wanting to retrieve a memory ) and monitoring processes ( expecting a memory to appear ) on the characteristics of autobiographical memories.
Methods: To this end, by applying mixed-method analysis of memory descriptions (i.e. combining qualitative with quantitative analyses) we re-analysed the large pool of involuntary and voluntary memories obtained in one previously published study, asking independent judges to rate all the memories on several dimensions reflecting memory accessibility (i.e. the likelihood that a memory can be retrieved).
Results: When discussing our findings, we speculate that there may be several stages of memory retrieval that might be differently influenced by intention and monitoring.
Conclusions: We discuss the novel hypothesis that there may be two different types of monitoring that operate independently of each other, before and after retrieval, respectively.
