functional comparison of involuntary and voluntary remembering.
Functional accounts of autobiographical memory have postulated three separate purposes for this memory system: directive (helping to guide future behavior), social (enhancing social cohesion among individuals), and self function (helping to facilitate and maintain conceptualizations of the self).
White there has been little work done in the area of function with involuntary memories, one study has suggested that they may have functions which in many ways overlap with these three functions.
It makes sense that involuntary remembering and voluntary remembering would have the same or overlapping functions, as both should be serving the larger purposes of autobiographical memory .
However, involuntary remembering may have unique functions that voluntary remembering could not logically have.
Involuntary memory chaining, which results from voluntary memories, is a good case in point. Mace demonstrated that involuntary memory chains resulted from memories produced voluntarily on an autobiographical memory task.
As virtually all of these memories were related to the targets of voluntary recall, Mace argued that involuntary memory chaining may naturally be functional to voluntary recall, as chaining appears to be expanding the process of remembering by bringing memories to mind that had some relationship with the targets of recall.
Another special function of involuntary remembering may occur when involuntary memories experienced in everyday life cause one to engage in voluntary recall.
That is, frequently the experience of an involuntary memory may cause one to engage in the voluntary remembering process by elaborating further on a memory in potentially all sorts of way.
In this regard, involuntary remembering could be seen as serving the purpose of jump starting the voluntary remembering process, prompting one to think more about a particular situation or remember more about a particular past event.
In a more traditional sense, one could look at involuntary memories as early warning devices that on occasion may signal a potential danger.
