Abstract
Although there has been a wide theoretical and experimental development showing some evidence of the relationshipbetween this type of memory and emotional disturbance, the procedure employed to obtain memories has methodologicalrestrictions. Nowadays, a standardized instrument to assess memory recovery processes controlling for subjectivebias is not available. This work analyzes the behaviour of the Autobiographical Memory Test (AMT) among Spanishpopulation controlling for such subjective bias employing a psycholinguistic programme to opt for cue-words. Resultsshowed a satisfactory functioning of the chosen procedure to select Spanish cue-words. However, some differencesbetween emotional and psychological variables and specific recall were also reported, according to recent research thatsupport the presence of important subjective elements linked to autobiographical retrieval. The Spanish version of theAutobiographical Memory Test, obtained as a result of the current work, is considered an appropriate instrument toobtain specific voluntary memories for Spanish samples.
