Core Features of Episodic Memory l (1) Memory for specific events from your past l (2) Involves retrieving the bound together contents and context (what happened, when it happened and where did it happen) l (3) Associated with a particular kind of conscious experience l mental time travel l re-experiencing past sights, sounds, etc

Episodic Memory Mechanisms Consolidation Mechanisms Attentional Control EncodingStorageRetrieval Attentional Control Semantic Records Perceptual Records Binding Context Semantic Records Perceptual Records Binding Context

Aims of Lecture 3 l (1) How the core features are investigated in lab-based experiments that strip EM down to its basic elements. l (2) How does EM differ from other forms of long term memory? l (3) What dont we know about episodic memory?

Amnesia PastFuture RetrogradeAnterograde

l Vargha-Khadem et al, Science (1997) l Three amnesic children l Beth: birth: perinatal anoxic episode, seizures l Jon: age 4: seizures l Kate: age 9: drug overdose, inducing seizures l Disabling memory problems with every-day life l Spatio-temporal (i.e. Episodic!) l But normal intellectual development Childhood (Anterograde) Amnesia

l (1) What kind of brain damage was present? l (2) What kind of memory has been lost? »Which cognitive processes are no longer functioning? l (3) What kind of memory is still intact? Questions Asked by Varga-Khadem

l Functional brain imaging to reveal brain damage l Standard neuropsychological tests of general intellectual and memory function to establish the clinical profile l Experimental Cognitive Tests of item and associative recognition Methods Used by Varga-Khadem et al

l Selective bilateral (left and right) atrophy of the hippocampal formation Common Underlying Brain Damage

l Speech, language, IQ, etc, all within normal range l Immediate recall normal (intact short term working memory) l Delayed recall severely impaired l A clinical profile consistent with a dense and selective anterograde amnesia Standard Neuropsychological Tests of Intellectual and Memory Functions

l Item and associative recognition for l Nonwords (eg FLUNT) l Faces l Nonword pairs l Face pairs l Voice-face pairs l Object-place pairs Experimental Cognitive Tests of Memory

Performance on the Cognitive Tests of Memory

l Selective and generalised loss of episodic memory function »The episodic memory failure may reflect an inability to bind (associate) qualitatively different kinds of information together. l Intact ability to recognise must be based on a non- episodic form of memory. General Conclusions

Encoding Specificity l How are memory traces accessed by retrieval cues? »Introduced by Tulving and Thompson, in l The most effective retrieval pathways reinstate processing that occurred when the target information was encountered.

How Encoding Specificity Works l From Fisher and Craik (1976) (see Reisberg, pp ) »Subjects studied word-pairs –The encoding task emphasised a relationship based either on meaning (CAT-DOG) or on sound (CAT-HAT) »And performed associative recall tasks –Can you recall a studied word associated with CAT? –Can you recall a studied word sounding like CAT?

Fisher and Craiks Findings

Various Encoding Specificity Effects

Encoding Specificity l Memory performance is best when there is overlap in the conditions at encoding and retrieval. l Nothing is encoded in isolation, information is always encoded within a context, including »The external spatiotemporal context (time and place) »Your internal thoughts and feelings while the information is processed.

His face is familiar... When episodic memory fails..... HEY BUDDY, I MISSED YOU SO MUCH....

Recollection Contrasted With Familiarity l Only recollection, the retrieval of episodic details, can provide information about the source of a memory. l Familiarity can arise for a number of reasons, and can support recognition judgements even when recollection fails - hence it can be prone to error. l It is possible that Varga-Khadems patients may have been utilising the familiarity of studied items as a basis for their intact recognitions.

Modified Recognition Procedures l Remember / Know Judgements »Ask subjects to report on their experiences while recognising. »Do they Remember any episodic details »Or do they just know the information was encountered at study. l These cognitive processes supporting remember and know responses are not identical. »E.g. only remember responses are reduced when attention is divided.
