The study of reminiscence has a long history, which is shortly described in Eysenck and Frith (1977, chapter 1): Reminiscence is a technical term, coined by Ballard in 1913, denoting improvement in the performance of a partially learned act that occurs while the subject is resting, that is, not performing the act in question. (Eysenck and Frith, 1977, page 3). The reality of the phenomenon was first experimentally demonstrated by Oehrn (1895).
