Seeing life through rose-colored spectacles: Autobiographical memory as experienced in Korsakoff’s syndrome
Consciousness and Cognition, 2018Co-Authors: Mohamad El Haj, Jean-louis NandrinoAbstract:We investigated whether patients with Korsakjoff’s Sybdrome (KS) would demonstrate a discrepancy between (low) Autobiographical specificity and (high) sense of reliving. We invited 20 KS patients and 24 controls to retrieve personal memories. After memory retrieval, they were invited to rate subjective characteristics of their Recall (e.g., reliving, travel in time, remembering, realness). Besides this rating, we analyzed memories objectively with regard to specificity. Analysis demonstrated poorer sense of reliving and memory specificity in KS patients than in controls. Critically, a discrepancy (i.e., higher level of sense of reliving than of specificity) was observed in KS participants but not in controls. We propose a hypothesis of “genuine consciousness experience” in which the discrepancy between sense of reliving and specificity mirrors how KS patients can benefit from an authentic experience of the past despite compromise in their Autobiographical Recall.

Phenomenological characteristics of Autobiographical memory in Korsakoff's syndrome
Consciousness and Cognition, 2017Co-Authors: Mohamad El Haj, Jean-louis NandrinoAbstract:A body of research suggests compromise of Autobiographical memory in Korsakoff's syndrome (KS). The present paper extends this literature by investigating the subjective experience of Autobiographical Recall in the syndrome. Patients with KS and controls were asked to retrieve Autobiographical memories. After memory retrieval, participants were asked to rate phenomenological characteristics of their memories (i.e., reliving, back in time, remembering, realness, visual imagery, auditory imagery, language, emotion, rehearsal, importance, spatial Recall and temporal Recall). Analysis showed lower "Mean Phenomenological Experience" in the Korsakoff patients than in controls. However, the Korsakoff patients attributed relatively high emotional value and importance to their memories. Although our findings suggest compromised phenomenological reliving of Autobiographical memory in patients with KS, affective characteristics such as emotion and importance are likely to play a main role in the subjective experience of the past in these patients.

More emotional facial expressions during episodic than during semantic Autobiographical retrieval.
Cognitive affective & behavioral neuroscience, 2015Co-Authors: Mohamad El Haj, Pascal Antoine, Jean-louis NandrinoAbstract:There is a substantial body of research on the relationship between emotion and Autobiographical memory. Using facial analysis software, our study addressed this relationship by investigating basic emotional facial expressions that may be detected during Autobiographical Recall. Participants were asked to retrieve 3 Autobiographical memories, each of which was triggered by one of the following cue words: happy, sad, and city. The Autobiographical Recall was analyzed by a software for facial analysis that detects and classifies basic emotional expressions. Analyses showed that emotional cues triggered the corresponding basic facial expressions (i.e., happy facial expression for memories cued by happy). Furthermore, we dissociated episodic and semantic retrieval, observing more emotional facial expressions during episodic than during semantic retrieval, regardless of the emotional valence of cues. Our study provides insight into facial expressions that are associated with emotional Autobiographical memory. It also highlights an ecological tool to reveal physiological changes that are associated with emotion and memory.

Self-defining memories during exposure to music in Alzheimer's disease.
International psychogeriatrics, 2015Co-Authors: Mohamad El Haj, Pascal Antoine, Jean-louis Nandrino, Marie-christine Gély-nargeot, Stéphane RaffardAbstract:Background: Research suggests that exposure to music may enhance Autobiographical Recall in Alzheimer's Disease (AD) patients. This study investigated whether exposure to music could enhance the production of self-defining memories, that is, memories that contribute to self-discovery, self-understanding, and identity in AD patients. Methods: Twenty-two mild-stage AD patients and 24 healthy controls were asked to produce Autobiographical memories in silence, while listening to researcher-chosen music, and to their own-chosen music. Results: AD patients showed better Autobiographical Recall when listening to their own-chosen music than to researcher-chosen music or than in silence. More precisely, they produced more self-defining memories during exposure to their own-chosen music than to researcher-chosen music or during silence. Additionally, AD patients produced more self-defining memories than Autobiographical episodes or personal-semantics during exposure to their own-chosen music. This pattern contrasted with the poor production of self-defining memories during silence or during exposure to researcher-chosen music. Healthy controls did not seem to enjoy the same Autobiographical benefits nor the same self-defining memory enhancement in the self-chosen music condition. Conclusions: Poor production of self-defining memories, as observed in AD, may somehow be alleviated by exposure to self-chosen music.

Autobiographical Recall as a tool to enhance the sense of self in Alzheimer's disease.
Archives of gerontology and geriatrics, 2019Co-Authors: Mohamad El Haj, Karim Gallouj, Pascal AntoineAbstract:Abstract We investigated whether Autobiographical retrieval would improve the sense of self in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Participants with AD and controls were asked to produce statements describing their self, i.e., statements to the question “Who am I?”, after two conditions: after Autobiographical retrieval and after a control verbal fluency task. The production of “Who am I?” statements was analyzed regarding three self-dimensions (i.e., physical self, social self, and psychological self). Results revealed better production of descriptions related to physical self, social self, and psychological self after Autobiographical retrieval than after the control condition in AD patients and control participants. At a clinical level, encouraging patients to retrieve Autobiographical memories may be used as a tool to activate the sense of self in AD. At a theoretical level, they are concordant with a model suggesting a bidirectional relationship between Autobiographical memory and the self in AD.

Phenomenological Reliving and Visual Imagery During Autobiographical Recall in Alzheimer's Disease.
Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD, 2016Co-Authors: Mohamad El Haj, Dimitrios Kapogiannis, Pascal AntoineAbstract:Multiple studies have shown compromise of Autobiographical memory and phenomenological reliving in Alzheimer's disease (AD). We investigated various phenomenological features of Autobiographical memory to determine their relative vulnerability in AD. To this aim, participants with early AD and cognitively normal older adult controls were asked to retrieve an Autobiographical event and rate on a five-point scale metacognitive judgments (i.e., reliving, back in time, remembering, and realness), component processes (i.e., visual imagery, auditory imagery, language, and emotion), narrative properties (i.e., rehearsal and importance), and spatiotemporal specificity (i.e., spatial details and temporal details). AD participants showed lower general Autobiographical Recall than controls, and poorer reliving, travel in time, remembering, realness, visual imagery, auditory imagery, language, rehearsal, and spatial detail-a decrease that was especially pronounced for visual imagery. Yet, AD participants showed high rating for emotion and importance. Early AD seems to compromise many phenomenological features, especially visual imagery, but also seems to preserve some other features.

Behavioural consequences of regret and disappointment in social bargaining games.
Cognition & emotion, 2011Co-Authors: Luis F. Martinez, Marcel Zeelenberg, John B. RijsmanAbstract:Previous research on the role of negative emotions in social bargaining games has focused primarily on social emotions such as anger and guilt. In this article, we provide a test for behavioural differences between two prototypical decision-related negative emotions—regret and disappointment—in one-shot social dilemma games. Three experiments with two different emotion-induction procedures (Autobiographical Recall and imagined scenarios) and two different games (the ultimatum game and the 10-coin give-some game) revealed that regret increased prosocial behaviour, whereas disappointment decreased prosocial behaviour. These results extend previous findings concerning differences between regret and disappointment to interdependent (social) situations.

Describe yourself to improve your Autobiographical memory: A study in Alzheimer's disease
Cortex, 2017Co-Authors: Mohamad El Haj, Pascal AntoineAbstract:This study investigated whether retrieval of information related to conceptual self (i.e., self-images that encompass general factual and evaluative knowledge of one's identity) would improve Autobiographical memory in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Participants with AD and controls were asked to retrieve Autobiographical memories after providing statements to the question “Who am I? and after a control condition consisting of reading a general text. Autobiographical Recall was analyzed with respect to specificity (general vs specific event), context Recall (information describing the “when, where, and who” as well as affective states), and reliving (the subjective experience of Recall). AD participants showed higher specificity, context Recall and reliving after the “Who am I?” statements than after the text reading, and controls showed higher context Recall after the former than after the latter condition. These findings highlight the relationship between self and Autobiographical memory in AD and demonstrate how retrieval of information related to conceptual self may influence Autobiographical memory in the disease.

Vicarious shame.
Cognition & emotion, 2012Co-Authors: Stephanie C M Welten, Marcel Zeelenberg, Seger M BreugelmansAbstract:We examined an account of vicarious shame that explains how people can experience a self-conscious emotion for the behaviour of another person. Two divergent processes have been put forward to explain how another's behaviour links to the self. The group-based emotion account explains vicarious shame in terms of an in-group member threatening one's social identity by behaving shamefully. The empathy account explains vicarious shame in terms of empathic perspective taking; people imagine themselves in another's shameful behaviour. In three studies using Autobiographical Recall and experimental inductions, we revealed that both processes can explain why vicarious shame arises in different situations, what variation can be observed in the experience of vicarious shame, and how all vicarious shame can be related to a threat to the self. Results are integrated in a functional account of shame.
