Sep 12, 2019 at 19:01 comment added Bryan Krause Then can you explain what you mean by "memory" versus "learning"? In neuroscience the two are often grouped together into "learning and memory" because there isn't really much distinction. Maybe you are trying to contrast memorization in terms of a list of facts with learning concepts? In that case I would use the term "memorization" exclusively, not "memory."
Sep 11, 2019 at 17:26 comment added Gooby Episodic I’d say is part of it but I don’t know if pure episodic memory is sufficient for say academia. There also requires an ability to combine memorized things to realize a new concept and add to memory.
Sep 11, 2019 at 14:03 comment added Bryan Krause What is the difference between memory and learning in the scenario you describe? By memory do you mean episodic memory of when a concept is experienced?
