“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 visit <a

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>
