Episodic Memory
Captions available
The idea
Episodic memory holds personally experienced events, including where and when they happened.
In practice
Recalling a specific birthday dinner, with its room and its company, is episodic.
Where people slip
Episodic memories are the most reconstructive kind. Detail is often supplied rather than retrieved.
