| summary | Involuntary autobiographical memories are conscious memories of personal events that come to mind spontaneously – that is, with no immediately preceding attempt at retrieval. Recent evidence suggests that involuntary memories are highly frequent in daily life and predominantly positive. They represent a context-sensitive, associative, and relatively automatic way of recollecting past episodes that involves little executive control and may be a developmental and evolutionary forerunner of strategic retrieval of past events. They can be used as a means of activating autobiographical memories in dementia. Insights regarding their general mechanism may be used to account for intrusive, involuntary memories in clinical disorders. |
