SUL RAPPORTO TRA REMINISCING, MEMORIA EPISODICA AUTOBIOGRAFICA E COSCIENZA AUTONOETICA: IL CONTRIBUTO DELLA TEORIA DELL'ATTACCAMENTO.

The work links the activity of reminiscing between parent and child, or joint re-evocation of past events, with the development of autobiographical episodic memory and of the temporally connoted higher order consciousness. The hypothesis is discussed that the relational environment in which the child grows is of fundamental importance in the development and in the possibility of an episodic memory and an extended consciousness. In the light of the attachment theory, and specifi cally of Giovanni's Liotti theoretical contribution, the idea is explored that, even as an adult, a different quality of the higher order autonoetic consciousness, or self-awareness extended temporally, may correspond to a different quality of joint reevocation.
