Self-reference and the encoding of personal information. Rogers, T. B., Kuiper, N. A., & Kirker, W. S. Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 35(9):677–688, American Psychological Association, 1977. Place: US
doi  abstract   bibtex   
Conducted 2 experiments with 59 undergraduates to investigate the degree to which the self is implicated in processing personal information. Ss rated adjectives on 4 tasks designed to force varying kinds of encoding: structural, phonemic, semantic, and self-reference. Incidental recall of the rate words indicated that adjectives rated under the self-reference task were recalled the best. Results indicate that self-reference is a rich and powerful encoding process. As an aspect of the human information-processing system, the self appears to function as a superordinate schema that is deeply involved in the processing, interpretation, and memory of personal information.
