Autobiographical memory (ABM) refers to the capacity to remember one's own past, and is known to be central for supporting one's identity and sense of self. This capacity is commonly affected in Alzheimer's disease (AD), as well as semantic dementia (SD) and behavioral-variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD). Importantly, ABM plays a critical social function, facilitating relationship intimacy and empathy, and thus loss of ABM may also negatively affect families and carers.
