Déjà vu and involuntary autobiographical memories as two distinct cases of familiarity in patients with Alzheimer's disease

Joanna Gautier et al. Behav Brain Sci. .

Abstract

The continuum between involuntary autobiographical memories and déjà vu, as proposed by Barzykowski and Moulin, can be better defined by considering research on autobiographical retrieval in patients with Alzheimer's disease. Although autobiographical retrieval in patients with Alzheimer's disease can generally be associated with a sense of familiarity, involuntary retrieval can trigger an autonoetic experience of retrieval in these patients.
