Abstract
Current research showed that self-judgements regarding unobservable characteristics were faster for recent - compared to more distant - autobiographical events. Self-judgements regarding observable characteristics were faster for more distant events. This suggests an accessibility-based mechanism underlying the shift from internal to external perspective in forming selfimages related to distant past.
