ABSTRACT

Episodic memory supports the ability to recollect events, for example, remembering what one had for breakfast or reminiscing about a friend’s wedding. Traditionally, the cognitive operations that support episodic memory have been discussed with reference to one of three stages of processing; encoding, storage, or retrieval (see Tulving, 1983). The cognitive operations that might be engaged at each stage have been studied extensively, with perhaps the greatest atttention having been paid to retrieval.
