Field and observer perspectives in autobiographical memory
Events of the personal past may be remembered from two points of view. One is from a first-person or field perspective, such that people relive the events through their own eyes, as if they were…
Field and observer viewpoint in remember-know memories of personal childhood events
TLDR
This experiment examined the viewpoint and other phenomenal characteristics of childhood memories based on both personal recollections and self-knowledge and found remembered events received the highest ratings for sensory and contextual detail, emotional content, and memory accuracy, while known-about events were given the lowest ratings.
Field and observer modes of remembering.
TLDR
Two studies provide further evidence that remembering is more than retrieval: the information that enters awareness is determined by the information sources in memory and the organisational scheme adopted for recollection, and ability to change the initially reported perspective.
Category-specific enhancement of retrieval due to field perspective
TLDR
Two experiments examined the influence of memory perspective on objective memory performance and found that recall was significantly higher when a field perspective was adopted than when an observer perspectives was adopted.
Effect of Memory Perspective on Retrospective Causal Attributions
Two studies examined whether people's retrospective causal attributions might be mediated by the visual perspective from which events are recalled. In Study 1, pairs of Ss participated in…
Effect of memory perspective on retrospective causal attributions.
TLDR
The results suggest that the different perspectives from which events can be recalled function much like the divergent visual perspectives available to actors and observers in immediate, everyday experience.
Observer perspective and acentred memory: some puzzles about point of view in personal memory
Sometimes I remember my past experiences from an ‘observer’ perspective, seeing myself in the remembered scene. This paper analyses the distinction in personal memory between such external observer…
Visual Perspectives in Episodic Memory and the Sense of Self
TLDR
It is argued that observer-perspective remembering is a stable state of consciousness that is distinct from autoscopic phenomena with respect to the dimensions of minimal phenomenal self (MPS).

Construction, Preservation, and the Presence of Self in Observer Memory
Observer memories involve a representation of the self in the memory image, which is presented from a detached or external point of view. That such an image is an obvious departure from how one…

TLDR
The results of two kinds of test applications of a computer program for multidimensional scaling on the basis of essentially nonmetric data are reported to measures of interstimulus similarity and confusability obtained from some actual psychological experiments.
