Declarative versus Episodic Two Theories Put to the Test
نویسنده
چکیده
The question of whether the hippocampus plays a selective role in episodic memory or a more general role in both episodic and semantic memory (together termed declarative memory) is an unresolved and much-debated topic in the current literature.

The reported findings provide new evidence toward resolving this much-debated controversy.
