In contrast, the dual representation theory of PTSD distinguishes normal episodic memories, supported by flexible, contextualised representations, from flashbacks, supported by representations that are inflexible and lacking in context (Brewin, Gregory, Lipton, & Burgess, 2010).
Episodic memory supports conscious remembrance of everyday experience.
To frame the research, we propose that episodic memory supports a set of cognitive capabilities that improve an agent's ability to sense its environment, reason, and learn.
In the current study, while memory for object features could have supported subjective estimates of recollection for the objects, in which any episodic detail could support recollection-based judgments, this knowledge would not necessarily have facilitated source memory performance in the current study (i.e., non-criterial recollection).
It is therefore possible that young infants may acquire associative representations and flexible relational networks using the same 'traditional' associative learning mechanism used by adults, which are presumed to support episodic memory, and depend upon the hippocampus.
SM effects within striatum are not commonly examined, but PFC and striatum form parts of a circuit (Voorn et al. 2004; Leh et al. 2007) known to support episodic encoding via top-down inputs to MTL (Wagner et al. 1999; Fernandez and Tendolkar 2001; Addis and McAndrews 2006; Summerfield et al. 2006; Kopell and Greenberg 2008).
That it can operate in part independently in this way, of course, supports the idea that the networks supporting episodic memory in the brain are both diverse and widespread.
There is abundant evidence that the hippocampal formation critically supports episodic memory retrieval, the remembering of episodes including contextual details.
Specifying the core network supporting episodic simulation and episodic memory by activation likelihood estimation.
Human neuroimaging studies have suggested that subregions of the medial and lateral parietal cortex form key nodes of a larger brain network supporting episodic memory retrieval.
We shortly discuss how our model corresponds to different theories on the role of the hippocampal formation in forming episodic memories or supporting spatial navigation.
