| Annotation | Autobiographical memories (AM) are recollections of personally experienced past events. Overgeneral memory (OGM) is an AM retrieval tendency to provide generic summaries of personal events, rather than specific details of particular occasions and a particular time and place, despite being asked to recall a specific occasion.
