Recollecting events from your past (mental time travel) Multidimensional: spatial (relating to space), emotional, sensory components. Greenberg and rubin (2003): patients with object agnosia (not able to recognize objects) experience loss of am this shows that visual experience plays a role in forming and retrieving am (true sensory component) Events that are remembered well: significant events, emotional, transitions. Childhood amnesia: few to no episodic memories from before age if 2-4; reduced memories before 10. Not due to lack of encoding b/c memories can be present by fade through time .
