What Constitutes an Episode in Episodic Memory?

What constitutes an episode in episodic memory?

The idea of episodic memory implies the existence of a process that segments experience into episodes so that they can be stored in memory. It is therefore surprising that the link between event segmentation and the organization of experiences into episodes in memory has not been addressed. We found that after participants read narratives containing temporal event boundaries at varying location...

What Constitutes an Effective Representation?

This paper presents a taxonomy of 19 cognitive criteria for judging what constitutes effective representational systems, particularly for knowledge rich topics. Two classes of cognitive criteria are discussed. The first concerns access to concepts by reading and making inferences from external representations. The second class addresses the generation and manipulation of external representation...

Episodic Memory Bias in People with and without General Health

Introduction: Health investigations require a wide and continuous range of studies over physical and moral aspects of humans. Health is feeding good and not being sick. Many factors affect the sustainability of health; one of the important factors is cognitive (memory) factors since  episodic memory plays on important role in recording a person’s personal experience related to time and place. M...

What are the boundary conditions of differentiation in episodic memory?

One of the critical findings in recognition memory is the null list-strength effect (LSE), which states that repeating study items does not hurt the performance of other studied items. Episodic memory models were able to predict the null LSE by using the principle of differentiation, in which repetitions of an item accumulate into a single strong memory trace. A hypothesized boundary of differe...
