Students recorded one event from their lives each day for 12 weeks and rated events along several dimensions. About 5 months later, yes-no recognition, recognition-discrimination, cued-recall, and time-estimation tests were given. All tests included foil items from other subjects. Performance was high on both recognition tests, although about 11% of other students’ events were accepted as “old.” Time estimates were positively correlated with real time but were rather inaccurate. Cued-recall performance was fairly accurate for event cues that students recognized as old. Factor analysis of rating scales yielded three independent factors: outcome (memorable events were positive and satisfactory), frequency (memorable events were infrequent and atypical), and salience (memorable events were rated as memorable, surprising, exciting, and significant). |
