The Reminiscene bump

I only learnt recently through Sarah Reed (Contact-the-Elderly trustee and runs her business with the memory cards) about the reminiscence bump.

Wiki definition:
"The reminiscence bump is the effect in the temporal distribution of autobiographical memory revealed in research by David Rubin and others that people tend to recall more personal events from adolescence and early adulthood (10-25 years) than personal events from other lifetime periods."


Recently she published an interesting blog Leeds univeristy research and how people remember the Beatles.
have a read.
