Empirically Informed Philosophy of Mind online Seminar
Nous avons le plaisir de vous convier au prochain séminaire Empirically Informed Philosophy of Mind online Seminar
Nous écouterons Margherita Arcangeli (École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales, Jean Nicod Institute), dont le thème sera : "Episodic Memory through the lens of Aphantasia"
A recent proposal is to characterize aphantasia as an episodic memory condition. Aphantasics show difficulties in recalling details of situations from their distant and recent past. They are less confident about their episodic memories and also seem to be less emotionally affected by them. But can we really say that aphantasics have a poor episodic memory? The aim of this talk is to analyze in depth four strands of research (i.e., pictorial memory tests, memory accuracy, hippocampal activity, and SDAM) that challenge this idea and emphasize the necessity for a more in-depth understanding of episodic memory in aphantasics.
