Stuff related to Ling208 ---- <> Tulving E. (2002) Episodic memory: from mind to brain. Annu Rev Psychol. 53, 1 - 25. * If episodic memory is a system which uses, but is distinct from, semantic memory could the influence of episodic experiences on underlying linguistic distributions be modeled as a subjective force on objective experiential distributions? For example, there are objective distributions from experience (semantic memories, let's say) with a mean [s] frequency and SD, but that episodic memory "thumbs the scales" producing a distribution influenced by affective associations such as more important tokens or rejection of otherwise good tokens? ** Social system determines the weighting parameters for exemplars? * What exactly is meant by the system-process-function discussion, how are each distinct? * "Left prefrontal cortex is differentially more involved than right in encoding information into episodic memory, whereas right prefrontal cortex is differentially more involved than left in episodic memory retrieval. Because episodic encoding processes usually involve semantic memory retrieval, the HERA model assigns semantic-memory retrieval also to the left frontal lobe." I don't understand how this follows, if episodic encoding involves semantic retrieval, why is semantic retrieval not on the same side as episodic encoding? ---- CategoryBrickhouse
