Abstract

In a large-scale study, we asked people for their memories of The Beatles. Over four thousand respondents completed an online questionnaire. The memory could be related to a song, album, event, TV, film, or even a personal encounter. Respondents judged the age at which the event remembered had occurred and rated the memory for vividness, emotional intensity, valence and rehearsal. We found 38% of the memories were classified as "seeing The Beatles live", 25% "buying Beatles music", 20% "love of The Beatles" and 17% of the memories were "listening to Beatles songs with other people" - what we refer to as cascading memories. Among the younger respondents (aged 26 and under), 84% of the memories were cascading in nature. The memories dated to what we term the "self-defining period" in autobiographical memory (previously termed "the reminiscence bump"), with a mean age-at-encoding of 13.6 years, which is consistent with other studies of memories associated with music. We propose that these memories reflect the formation of generational identity [Mannheim, K. (1952). The problem of generations. In K. Mannheim (Ed.), Essays on the sociology knowledge (pp. 276-321).

我的生活：记忆、自我和披头士。

在一项大规模研究中，我们询问了人们对披头士乐队的记忆。四千多名受访者完成了在线问卷调查。记忆可以与歌曲、专辑、事件、电视、电影甚至个人邂逅有关。受访者判断了记忆中事件发生的年龄，并对记忆的生动程度、情感强度、情绪和预演进行了评分。我们发现，38% 的记忆被归类为 "观看披头士现场表演"，25% 的记忆被归类为 "购买披头士音乐"，20% 的记忆被归类为 "喜爱披头士"，17% 的记忆被归类为 "与他人一起聆听披头士歌曲"--我们称之为层叠记忆。在较年轻的受访者（26 岁及以下）中，84% 的记忆属于串联记忆。这些记忆属于我们所说的自传体记忆中的 "自我界定期"（以前称为 "回忆颠簸期"），编码时的平均年龄为 13.6 岁，这与其他有关音乐记忆的研究结果一致。我们认为，这些记忆反映了代际认同的形成[Mannheim, K. (1952)。世代问题。In K. Mannheim (Ed.), Essays on the sociology knowledge (pp. 276-321).Routledge & Keegan Paul].

期刊介绍： Memory publishes high quality papers in all areas of memory research. This includes experimental studies of memory (including laboratory-based research, everyday memory studies, and applied memory research), developmental, educational, neuropsychological, clinical and social research on memory. By representing all significant areas of memory research, the journal cuts across the traditional distinctions of psychological research. Memory therefore provides a unique venue for memory researchers to communicate their findings and ideas both to peers within their own research tradition in the study of memory, and also to the wider range of research communities with direct interest in human memory.
