Autobiographical reasoning is the activity of creating relations between different parts of one's past, present, and future life and one's personality and development. It embeds personal memories in a culturally, temporally, causally, and thematically coherent life story. Prototypical autobiographical arguments are presented. Culture and socializing interactions shape the development of autobiographical reasoning especially in late childhood and adolescence. Situated at the intersection of cognitive and narrative development and autobiographical memory, autobiographical reasoning contributes to the development of personality and identity, is instrumental in efforts to cope with life events, and helps to create a shared history.
自传推理是一种在个人过去、现在和未来生活的不同部分以及个人性格与发展之间建立联系的活动。它将个人记忆嵌入到一个在文化、时间、因果和主题上连贯的人生故事中。文中呈现了典型的自传论证。文化和社交互动塑造了自传推理的发展，尤其是在童年晚期和青少年时期。自传推理处于认知发展、叙事发展和自传记忆的交叉点，有助于个性和身份认同的发展，在应对生活事件的努力中发挥作用，并有助于创造共同的历史。
