Preferred term

Involuntary Memories Program  

Definition

  • A method for the study of involuntary memories. During a monotonous vigilance task (detecting the appearance of vertical lines among horizontal lines), subjects are asked to write down involuntary autobiographical memories that come to mind. During the vigilance task, participants are asked to ignore phrases (e.g., "going on holiday," "buttering bread") that are presented on the computer screen but are likely to trigger involuntary memories.
