The distinction between episodic and semantic memory was first proposed in 1972 by Endel Tulving and is still of central importance in cognitive neuroscience. However, data obtained over the past 30 years or so support the idea that the frontiers between perception and knowledge and between episodic and semantic memory are not as clear cut as previously thought, prompting a rethink of the episodic-semantic distinction. Here, we review recent research on episodic and semantic memory, highlighting similarities between the two systems Taken together, current behavioral, neuropsychological, and neuroimaging data are compatible with the idea that episodic and semantic memory are inextricably intertwined, yet retain a mea sure of distinctiveness, despite the fact that their neural correlates demonstrate considerable overlap.
