A resource on reminiscence Reminiscence is a process by which people are enabled and encouraged to speak about and to celebrate past experiences, usually through engaging with stimulus materials. Most commonly, it is undertaken with people in later life and here it does serve particular functions, but reminiscence is a much more universal activity. We are all keen on remembering and taking pleasure in our recollections.
