The distinction between episodic and semantic memory was first proposed in 1972 by Endel Tulving and is still of central importance in cognitive neuroscience. However, data obtained over the past 30 years or so support the idea that the frontiers between perception and knowledge and between episodic and semantic memory are not as clear cut as previously thought, prompting a rethink of the episodic-semantic distinction. Here, we review recent research on episodic and semantic memory, highlighting similarities between the two systems. Taken together, current behavioral, neuropsychological, and neuroimaging data are compatible with the idea that episodic and semantic memory are inextricably intertwined, yet retain a measure of distinctiveness, despite the fact that their neural correlates demonstrate considerable overlap.
情景记忆和语义记忆之间的区别最早是由恩德尔·图尔文（Endel Tulving）于 1972 年提出的，在认知神经科学中仍然具有核心重要性。然而，过去 30 年左右获得的数据支持这样一种观点，即感知和知识之间以及情景记忆和语义记忆之间的界限并不像以前认为的那样清晰，这促使人们重新思考情景-语义的区别。在这里，我们回顾了最近关于情景记忆和语义记忆的研究，强调了这两个系统之间的相似性。总之，目前的行为、神经心理学和神经影像学数据与情景记忆和语义记忆密不可分的观点是一致的，尽管它们的神经相关性有很大的重叠，但仍保持一定的独特性。
