Abstract

Autobiographical Memory is a vital cognitive tool, as it plays a crucial role in identity formation, helping individuals establish a sense of self and continuity across time; and it contributes to social bonding by enabling the sharing of personal narratives. In turn, movies, music, and other media types are always present in our lives due to being among the most relevant and emotional forms of entertainment and education. So much so that we can easily make connections between media and memorable moments and places in our lives, supporting autobiographical memory; and these important remembrances tend to be somehow shared with other people, like family and close friends. With that in mind, we present a user survey carried out to learn about user habits, preferences, and perceived needs in this context; an interactive web application being designed and developed to allow users to register, navigate, and share their memories associated with media, with spatio-temporal and emotional perspectives, aiming to support and strengthen sense of self and social bonding even across generations; and a preliminary user evaluation with encouraging results.
