Answer to Question 1

a

Answer to Question 2

The first is that older adults tend to retrieve a large number of personal memories from
their adolescence and early adult yearsa reminiscence bump found across many
cultures that may occur because these are busy and formative years in one's life
(Conway et al., 2005 Fitzgerald, 1988 Jansari & Parkin, 1996). A second exception is
that people tend to remember transitional firsts.. Reflect for a
moment on your own college career. What events pop to mindand when did they
occur? Did you come up with the day you arrived on campus or the first time you met
your closest friend? What about notable classes, parties, or sports events? When David
Pillemer and his colleagues (1996) asked college juniors and seniors to recount the
most memorable experiences of their first year, 32 of all recollections were from the
transitional month of September. When college graduates were given the same task,
they too cited a disproportionate number of events from the opening two months of
their first year, followed by the next major transitional period, the last month of their
senior year. Among
students, these busy transitional periods are important regardless of whether their
schools follow a semester calendar or some other academic schedule (Kurbat et al.,
1998).
