Session Abstract
Recent work on the generative nature of episodic memory has raised crucial questions concerning the nature of memory errors. While the topic has been explored in detail in separate disciplines such as philosophy, psychology, and neuroscience, there hasn’t been much integration between the theoretical perspectives developed in each domain. This symposium brings together researchers in those domains with the aim of promoting an interdisciplinary dialogue around the nature of memory errors.
