Title: Episodic memory: What is it good for?
Abstract: Memory is typically associated with remembering our past. Yet humans spend only a minority of time reminiscing; many of our thoughts involve imagining and planning for experiences we have never had. These thoughts tend to be episodic—those that concern imagining a specific event unfolding in time and space. It has been argued that a central purpose of episodic memory is to form the seeds that allow us to forecast future outcomes. With this idea in mind, my talk focuses on some of the ways in which we use episodic memory adaptively. I will additionally consider circumstances in which episodic memory can, at times, be maladaptive for humans. A combination of behavioral, neuroimaging, and neuropsychological data will be presented.
