Summary
The three chapters of Part II provide a framework for the study of autobiographical memory. Robinson (Chap. 2) traces the study of autobiographical memory back to its prestigious roots, Brewer (Chap. 3) places autobiographical memory in the context of the study of memory in general, and Linton (Chap. 4) provides a general methodological overview of the kinds of memories and memory organizations that are seen when different memory search techniques are employed.
