What is the reminiscence bump? Why are adolescent and early adulthood experiences retrieved more readily than those of middle adulthood?

Answer: When older adults recall remote events, most happened between ages 10 and 30—a period of heightened autobiographical memory called the reminiscence bump. The reminiscence bump is evident in the autobiographical recall of older adults from diverse cultures—Bangladesh, China, Japan, Turkey, and the United States. Why are adolescent and early adulthood experiences retrieved more readily than those of middle adulthood? Youthful events occur during a period of rapid life change filled with novel experiences that stand out from the humdrum of daily life. Adolescence and early adulthood are also times of identity development, when many personally significant experiences occur. Furthermore, the reminiscence bump characterizes emotionally positive, but not negative, memories. Culturally shared, important life events—school proms, graduations, marriage, birth of children—are usually positive and cluster earlier in life. In contrast, negative events—a serious illness, a car accident—are generally unanticipated and are not overrepresented during any life period.
