Conversational remembering.

Conversational remembering is a core social process through which individual's co-construct personal and collective memories, maintains social bonds, and transmit cultural knowledge. This process is inherently multimodal, involving the coordination of verbal and nonverbal behaviors, including gestures, gaze, and prosody, and typically occurs in face-to-face interactions, though digital communication can also support it. In this review we show that interactive dynamics such as turn-taking, collaborative utterance construction and conversational roles shape how remembering occurs, enhancing personal and collective memory retrieval and identity maintenance. Finally, we discuss how naturalistic audio and video recordings, and recent methodological advances such natural language processing, and machine learning, allow us to detect and analyze conversational remembering sequences in the wild.
