Episodic memory

● the ability to recall details, e.g. the time and 31 Fill in the blank 1 of 10 of past events

Forming episodic memories involves three steps:

Encoding

● involves receiving and processing information

● the more 34 Fill in the blank 4 of 10 given to an event, the more successfully it can be encoded

● to remember a 35 Fill in the blank 5 of 10 , it is useful to have a strategy for encoding such information

Consolidation

● how memories are strengthened and stored

● most effective when memories can be added to a 36 Fill in the blank 6 of 10 of related information

● the 37 Fill in the blank 7 of 10 of retrieval affects the strength of memories

Retrieval

● memory retrieval often depends on using a prompt, e.g. the 38 Fill in the blank 8 of 10 of an object near to the place where you left your car

Episodic memory impairments

● these affect people with a wide range of medical conditions

● games which stimulate the 39 Fill in the blank 9 of 10 have been found to help people with schizophrenia

● memory training may help autistic children develop social skills
