The episodic memory system is flexible and complex, and likely evolved in response to a wide range of survival-relevant problems in our evolutionary past, both social and nonsocial. Episodic memory allows us to recollect and infer details that may have seemed trivial on encoding, but are now known to be relevant. This memory aids humans in navigating their uncertain environment.
情景记忆系统是灵活而复杂的,可能是为了应对我们进化过程中出现的各种与生存相关的问题而进化的,包括社交和非社交问题。情景记忆使我们能够回忆和推断出在编码时可能看似微不足道但现在已知相关的细节。这种记忆帮助人类在不确定的环境中导航。
