[Critics of perfection].

"In praise of imperfection" means to Rita Levi-Montalcini, Nobel prize for Medicine (1986), praise of man, as an unique being mixed of good and evil, whose greatness and dynamism is in its imperfection. Levi-Montalcini confesses her tendency to exclude herself, avoiding social contacts (a tendency she also improperly attributes to J. Watson). However, how can this be reconciled with a view such as that of Kundera: "Existence is not what has happened... Once again, existing means 'being in the world"'?

Phenomenal characteristics of memories for perceived and imagined autobiographical events.

Two studies explored potential bases for reality monitoring (Johnson & Raye, 1981) of naturally occurring autobiographical events. In Study 1, subjects rated phenomenal characteristics of recent and childhood memories. Compared with imagined events, perceived events were given higher ratings on several characteristics, including perceptual information, contextual information, and supporting memories. This was especially true for recent memories. In Study 2, subjects described how they knew autobiographical events had (or had not) happened. For perceived events, subjects were likely to mention perceptual and contextual details of the memory and to refer to other supporting memories. For imagined events, subjects were likely to engage in reasoning based on prior knowledge. The results are consistent with the idea that reality monitoring draws on differences in qualitative characteristics of memories for perceived and imagined events (Johnson & Raye, 1981) and augment findings from more controlled laboratory studies of complex events (Johnson & Suengas, in press; Suengas & Johnson, 1988).
