Summary
Preface
The chapters included in this book were given as invited addresses at the conference “Theoretical Perspectives on Autobiographical Memory,” which was held in Aarhus, Denmark, June 13–15, 2010. It was the first open-call conference dedicated to the study of autobiographical memories. The conference involved more than 150 participants from more than 15 different countries, testifying to the internal scope of the field. The conference brought together some of the most outstanding researchers on autobiographical memory. Each of them presented their key findings and particular theoretical perspective on the field. The conference marked the opening of the Center on Autobiographical Memory Research (CON AMORE) at Aarhus University funded by the Danish National Research Foundation’s Center of Excellence Program.
