I argue that the function attributed to episodic memory by Mahr & Csibra (M&C) – that is, grounding one's claims to epistemic authority over past events – fails to support the essentially autonoetic character of such memories. I suggest, in contrast, that episodic event memories are sometimes purely first order, sometimes autonoetic, depending on relevance in the context.

情景记忆本质上不是自主的

我认为，Mahr & Csibra (M&C) 赋予情景记忆的功能——也就是说，将一个人的主张建立在过去事件的认知权威之上——并不能支持这种记忆本质上的自主特征。相比之下，我认为情节事件记忆有时纯粹是一阶的，有时是自主的，这取决于上下文的相关性。
