TL;DRAbstract

Many studies ask respondents to remember not only that certain events happened, but also to place them in real time. To perform this task, respondents must depend on their memories for both these events and the time at which they took place. Thus, to understand how people arrive at their responses, and the degree of error in such self-reports, we need to know about the organization of what is called autobiographical memory and how time is represented in that memory.
