Forming episodic memories involves three steps:

Encoding

  • involves receiving and processing information

  • to remember a 35  , it is useful to have a strategy for encoding such information

Consolidation

  • how memories are strengthened and stored

  • the 37  of retrieval affects the strength of memories

Retrieval

Episodic memory impairments

  • these affect people with a wide range of medical conditions
  • games which stimulate the 39  have been found to help people with schizophrenia
