memory and identity
- The ways that memory functions develop over ontogeny are important for understanding the emergence of the self, identity, and the co-creation of the self. Memory is such a massive rabbit hole because it pulls in every domain of psychology, biology, and selfhood (to name just a few broad categories) and is very important to consider the intersections of ontogenetic and phylogenetic processes as they relate to memory.
- Starting with the broad brushes of developmental time:
- Episodic memory doesn't develop wholly until 4.5 years old, which has massive implications of how we think about individual identity and self issues
-
- Autobiographical reasoning grows across age and gets super interesting as we age well into adulthood

- [12:58 p.m., 2021-02-05] Isabel: 3. Strategic forgetting vs / and attention selection create either coherent or divergent selves
- [12:58 p.m., 2021-02-05] Isabel: Yes
- [1:00 p.m., 2021-02-05] Isabel: 4. All of these process are largely considered individual but I think we could go interesting places thinking about their co-creation over evo time, cultural constraints/time, and then from birth to adulthood
- [1:00 p.m., 2021-02-05] Bryan Kam: Awesome
- [1:01 p.m., 2021-02-05] Bryan Kam: https://github.com/lydgate/mindmeld/wiki/Recommendations
- [1:01 p.m., 2021-02-05] Isabel: 5. There’s a fucked uo finding that identity stories simplify post middle age. Also usually more positive.
- Working memory
- Long-term memory
- Autobiographical memory
- link to narrative identity
- social nature: its function is to contextualize the self in a field of time and others
