| dc.description.abstract | Autobiographical memory is a fundamental cognitive process that shapes our identity by helping us build a coherent narrative of ourselves over time. It goes beyond recalling events, creating a sense of personal continuity that helps us understand who we were and may become. By organizing and retrieving memories we influence how we perceive the present and plan for the future. Autobiographical memory enhances social interactions by allowing us to share personal stories, fostering empathy, and strengthening relationships. When we share memories with family and friends, we create a ”shared reservoir of experiences,” reinforcing social bonds. Media such as movies and music play a key role in this process. These forms of entertainment evoke strong emotions and are often tied to significant life moments, making them powerful anchors for autobiographical memories. Sharing media-related memories with loved ones deepens personal connections. With this in mind, we present a web application designed to help users document and share their memories, particularly those tied to music and movies. It enables users to explore memories through time, location, and emotions, providing an engaging way to revisit experiences. Memory anniversaries and location-based reminders, as well as media-content filters, help foster deeper connections. The adaptation of the application for mobile devices allows for a continuous and flexible experience on multiple platforms and locations. The design is based on thorough research, aiming to enhance self-reflection and social interaction. This thesis explores the theoretical foundations and existing platforms that informed the application’s development, alongside a user evaluation highlighting its usability and potential to meet the demand for a media-linked memory-sharing platform, while also basing itself on the As Music Goes By application. Finally, we envision future development focused on personal growth and psychological wellbeing, aligned with the principles of Autobiographical Memory and Collective Memory, which were central to this project. | pt_PT |
