DFG-funded research consortium “FOR 2812 – Constructing
scenarios
of the past” is proud to announce a <b>call for abstracts</b>
for its
biennial conference “<i>Generative Episodic Memory:
Interdisciplinary persepectives from neuroscience,
psychology and
philosophy</i>” <b>GEM 202</b><b>5.</b> It will be held <b>in
person</b> at the Ruhr University Bochum, Germany from 2<sup>nd</sup>
to 4<sup>th</sup> June, 2025. For more information please

style="font-size: 11pt">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 conference
therefore aims to bring together researchers from all relevant
fields
to advance the state of the art in the research on generative
episodic memory.</font></font></p>
