Cet article prêsente cinq différentes méthodes destinées à mesurer la validité et la fiabilité des données de souvenir. Celles-ci sont ensuite évaluées. Un classement de ces méthodes est effectué en fonction de l'importance qu'elles accordent aux erreurs relevées dans les enregistrements indépendants. Une analyse des différentes études réalisées sur les données de souvenir permet finalement d'identifier les facteurs qui affectent la fiabilité du souvenir.
