Diana Stewart · Answer 1

A). A memory that is emotionally intense.

C). A memory that contributes to our sense of self.

Explanation:

Self-defining memory, as the title suggests, is elucidated as the memories associated with notable personal events that plays a vital role in defining oneself and elicit intense emotions during retrieval. These memories are firmly associated with the other memories reflecting alike theme, relational, or emotional pattern. The above two aspects i. e. 'emotional intensity' and 'contribution to one's sense of self' are quite significant to self-defining memory as these are directly associated with how an individual defines himself/herself (provides an insight to his/her own identity) which is crucial to their goals in life. Thus, options A and C are the correct answers.
