Episodic knowledge

So, imagine you go to the park and you play on the swings, go down the slide, and have a picnic with your family. Later that day, your mom asks you what you did at the park. You start telling her about playing on the swings, going down the slide, and having a picnic.

This memory that you have about going to the park and what you did there is called episodic knowledge. It's like having a video in your brain of what happened during a specific event or episode.

Episodic knowledge is what we use to remember events in our lives, like birthdays, holidays, or vacations. It helps us remember what we did, who we were with, and how we felt.

Our brain stores these memories in a special place called the hippocampus, and when we want to remember them, our brain replays the video of the event in our mind.

So next time you go to the park or have a fun day, try to remember as much as you can so you can add it to your episodic knowledge collection!
