Title: Are episodic memory and episodic simulation different in kind?
Authors: Schwartz, Arieh (AUTHOR)

Subjects: Episodic memory, Memory, Cognitive psychology, Philosophy of science
Abstract: Simulation theory is a radical and yet increasingly popular view about episodic memory. It is the view that episodic memory and episodic simulation are the same natural kind. I argue that while simulation theory offers an important insight, it also makes an overreach. While episodic memory and episodic simulation likely reflect a common natural kind, they also differ in natural kind. They differ in natural kind because episodic memory is partly defined by projectible properties and memory trace mechanisms that episodic simulation lacks. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
