Memory for spatio-temporal contextual details during the retrieval of naturalistic episodes

Abstract Episodic memory entails the storage of events together with their spatio-temporal context and retrieval comprises the subjective experience of a link between the person who remembers and the episode itself. We used an encoding procedure with mobile-phones to generate experimentally-controll...
