Document Summary

Schacter describes the first three as sins of omission. We also need to understand the normal, everyday operation of long-term memory, the continual, coordinated, cooperative processes of interaction between episodic and semantic memory that let us understand and remember our experiences. Episodic tasks present to-be-learned material to people, then test their memory for it. Although most of the research presented in this chapter also presents specific materials to people, there are at least two major differences from standard episodic memory situations. First, the material to be learned is more meaningful than random lists of words. What we remember from our everyday experiences is influenced by semantic knowledge, our knowledge of concepts, relationships, and general information about the world.
