Memory and language are the two higher-order cognitive abilities intertwined for communication and other cognitive skills. Memory is the storage capacity of all the information we perceive. Where the sensory memory perceives the stimuli, the working memory actively stores the information and passes it to the long-term memory. However, there is a question that how is the continuous perception of stimuli transformed into meaningful information and organized for proper execution and retrieval from the memory? This paper focuses on the episodic memory that perceives information that is spatial and temporal based on our everyday experiences. Though the spatiotemporal information we receive is continuous; the episodic memory arranges the information as to episodes in the working memory before the information is stored for a longer period. The episodic buffer is one of the components of the working memory model which holds the episodic memory that is organized concerning time. To this point, the paper tries to understand the working of the episodic buffer in maintaining the episodic memory and also about the process of episodic events into meaningful units. Further, the paper also concentrates on the hippocampus which is considered to be the location of the episodic buffer.
记忆和语言是相互交织的两种高级认知能力，用于交流和其他认知技能。记忆是我们感知到的所有信息的存储能力。感觉记忆感知刺激，工作记忆主动存储信息，并将其传递到长期记忆。然而，有一个问题是，连续感知的刺激如何转化为有意义的信息，并在工作记忆中进行适当的执行和检索？本文专注于情景记忆，它基于我们的日常经验感知基于空间和时间的信息。尽管我们接收到的时空信息是连续的；情景记忆在将信息存储更长时间之前，将信息在工作记忆中组织成情节。情景缓冲区是工作记忆模型的组成部分之一，它保存有关时间的情景记忆。在这一点上，本文试图了解情景缓冲区在维持情景记忆方面的工作，以及将情景事件转化为有意义的单元的过程。此外，本文还集中讨论了被认为是情景缓冲区位置的海马体。
