Abstract

Over the course of his research, Endel Tulving offered a number of somewhat different characterizations of episodic memory. Do they indicate that he changed his mind over time as to what episodic memory is, or did his core understanding of the nature of episodic memory stay the same? In this article, we offer some support for the latter claim, and in particular for thinking that, throughout his life, Tulving took as a defining feature of episodic memory the distinctive awareness of the self in time it involves. We argue that it is easier to see the continuities rather than the discontinuities in Tulving's writings once their historical context is taken into account, where this involves both the authors who influenced his thinking, as well as the intellectual climate at the different times he was writing. We also discuss two recent bodies of work on episodic memory that take aspects of Tulving's writings as their point of departure, but try to factor out into separate ingredients what he arguably saw as a unitary phenomenon. Considering aspects of the dialectic between them and Tulving's view might shed further light on some of the motivations behind the latter.This article is part of the theme issue 'Elements of episodic memory: lessons from 40 years of research'.

外显记忆的历史
在他的研究过程中,恩代尔-图尔温对外显记忆提出了许多不同的描述。这些表述是表明他随着时间的推移改变了对外显记忆的看法,还是表明他对外显记忆本质的核心理解保持不变?在这篇文章中,我们为后一种说法提供了一些支持,尤其是认为图尔温终其一生都将外显记忆的一个决定性特征--它所涉及的对时间中的自我的独特认识--作为外显记忆的一个决定性特征。我们认为,一旦考虑到图尔温著作的历史背景,就能更容易地发现他著作中的连续性而非不连续性,其中既包括影响他思想的作家,也包括他写作的不同时期的思想氛围。我们还讨论了最近两部关于外显记忆的著作,它们都以图尔温著作的某些方面为出发点,但却试图将图尔温认为是单一现象的东西分门别类。考虑它们与图尔温观点之间的辩证关系,或许能进一步揭示后者背后的某些动机。本文是主题 "外显记忆的要素:40 年研究的经验教训 "的一部分。

期刊介绍: The journal publishes topics across the life sciences. As long as the core subject lies within the biological sciences, some issues may also include content crossing into other areas such as the physical sciences, social sciences, biophysics, policy, economics etc. Issues generally sit within four broad areas (although many issues sit across these areas): Organismal, environmental and evolutionary biology Neuroscience and cognition Cellular, molecular and developmental biology Health and disease.
