The DFG-funded research consortium “FOR 2812 – Constructing
scenarios of the past” <a href="https://for2812.rub.de">https://for2812.rub.de</a>
is proud to announce a call for papers for its first workshop on
generative episodic memory. Depending on the public health
situation in February next year, the workshop will be in-person,
virtual or a hybrid event. We invite submissions for talks and
posters <a href="https://easychair.org/cfp/gem2021">https://easychair.org/cfp/gem2021</a>.<br>
<br>
Episodic memories are widely regarded as memories of personally
experienced events. Early concepts about episodic memory were
based on the storage model, according to which experiential
content is preserved in memory and later retrieved. However,
overwhelming empirical evidence suggests that the content of
episodic memory is – at least to a certain degree – constructed in
the act of remembering. Even though very few contemporary
researchers would oppose this view of episodic memory as a
generative process, it has not become the standard paradigm of
empirical memory research. This is particularly true for studies
of the neural correlates of episodic memory. Further hindering
progress are large conceptual differences regarding episodic
memory across different fields, such as neuroscience, philosophy,
and psychology. This interdisciplinary workshop therefore aims to
bring together researchers from all relevant fields to advance the
state of the art in the research on generative episodic memory.</p>
<p> FOR 2812 “Constructing scenarios of the past: A new framework in
episodic memory” consists of 9 researchers. Seven from the Ruhr
University Bochum and two from the University of Münster. The
consortium adopts an interdisciplinary approach and investigates
generative episodic memory from a conceptual, modeling, and
experimental perspective using a common conceptual framework:
scenario construction. </p>
