Blue Zone Your Memory No. 37: Autobiographical Memory


 
 
 
Most of us would agree that culture and background can be a regulator for intrapersonal and interpersonal interactions.  Autobiographical memory is memory from past experiences, and this includes all of the contextual relationships associated with culture and interpersonal relationships. Understanding a person's cultural interactions and the history of one’s social patterns are essential when designing environments that help stimulate positive memory events for the cognitively declined person. When visiting a friend or a loved one, who is memory impaired, consider sharing artifacts of their culture and from their previous patterns of socialization.
