Abstract This article explores how autobiographical memory serves as the foundation for people's accounts of their wisdom. Two complementary approaches to wisdom are introduced: an intrapersonal or person-based approach, which defines wisdom as personal qualities or personality traits, and an interactionist or endeavor-based approach, which focuses on wisdom incidents—people's displays of wisdom in real-life situations. The literatures on autobiographical memory and on wisdom suggest that, when wisdom is defined as personal qualities or personality traits, its foundation in autobiographical memory is self-concept. However, when wisdom is defined as actual displays of wisdom, its foundation in autobiographical memory is specific autobiographical memories. The article discusses how autobiographical memory grounds and constrains the memories of wisdom. Further, using research on autobiographical memory, it argues that memories of wisdom incidents serve self, directive, and social functions, and that such memories are highly accessible, vividly remembered, and reasonably accurate.

智慧与记忆：自传记忆作为智慧事件回忆的基础

摘要 本文探讨了自传体记忆如何成为人们对其智慧的描述的基础。引入了两种互补的智慧方法：内省或基于人的方法，将智慧定义为个人品质或个性特征，以及互动或基于努力的方法，侧重于智慧事件——人们在现实生活中的智慧展示. 关于自传记忆和智慧的文献表明，当智慧被定义为个人品质或人格特质时，它在自传记忆中的基础是自我概念。然而，当智慧被定义为智慧的实际表现时，它在自传记忆中的基础是特定的自传记忆。这篇文章讨论了自传式记忆如何建立和限制智慧的记忆。此外，通过对自传体记忆的研究，它认为智慧事件的记忆服务于自我、指导和社会功能，并且这些记忆是高度可访问的、被生动地记住的并且相当准确。
