Autobiographical IMPLICIT ASSOCIATION TEST
The autobiographical IAT is a novel variant of the Implicit Association Test (IAT; Greenwald, Mc Ghee, & Schwartz, 1998) that may be used to establish whether an autobiographical memory trace is encoded in the respondent's mind/brain. It has been validated both in forensic and in clinical settings.
The autobiographical IAT allows one to evaluate which of two contrasting autobiographical events is true for a given individual. This is accomplished by requiring the respondent to complete two critical blocks of categorization trials, each of which pairs a different potentially autobiographical event with true events. Because pairing of a truly autobiographical event with true events should facilitate responses, the specific pattern of response times (RTs) in the two blocks indicates which autobiographical event is true and which is false.
