How language shapes episodic memory: A radical enactivist approach
Radical Enactivism (REC) states that basic cognition does not involve computation of representational information. Due to its antirepresentationalism, episodic memory (memory for one’s personal past events) can become a challenge for REC because it is intuitive that memories represent the past event...

| Sumario: | Radical Enactivism (REC) states that basic cognition does not involve computation of representational information. Due to its antirepresentationalism, episodic memory (memory for one’s personal past events) can become a challenge for REC because it is intuitive that memories represent the past events. In this paper, this problem will be addressed by focusing on how language shapes episodic memory. It will be argued that language affect the functions of episodic memory such that it acquires a new function: a communicative one. Consequently, memory acquires a representational aspect. |
