=== Episodic learning ===
''Episodic learning'' is a change in behavior that occurs as a result of an event.<ref>Terry, W.S. (2006). Learning and Memory: Basic principles, processes, and procedures. Boston: Pearson Education, Inc.</ref> For example, a fear of dogs that follows being bitten by a dog is episodic learning. Episodic learning is so named because events are recorded into [[episodic memory]], which is one of the three forms of explicit learning and retrieval, along with perceptual memory and [[semantic memory]].<ref>Baars, B.J. & Gage, N.M. (2007). Cognition, Brain, and Consciousness: Introduction to cognitive neuroscience. London: Elsevier Ltd.</ref> Episodic memory remembers events and history that are embedded in experience and this is distinguished from semantic memory, which attempts to extract facts out of their experiential context<ref>{{Cite book|title=Sixth International Conference on Cognitive Modeling: ICCM – 2004|last1=Lovett|first1=Marsha|last2=Schunn|first2=Christian|last3=Lebiere|first3=Christian|last4=Munro|first4=Paul|publisher=Lawrence Erlbaum Associates Publishers|year=2004|isbn=978-0-8058-5426-8|location=Mahwah, NJ|page=220}}</ref> or – as some describe – a timeless organization of knowledge.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Artificial Intelligence: Critical Concepts, Volume 1|last1=Chrisley|first1=Ronald|last2=Begeer|first2=Sander|publisher=Routledge|year=2000|isbn=978-0-415-19332-0|location=London|page=48}}</ref> For instance, if a person remembers the [[Grand Canyon National Park|Grand Canyon]] from a recent visit, it is an episodic memory. He would use semantic memory to answer someone who would ask him information such as where the Grand Canyon is. A study revealed that humans are very accurate in the recognition of episodic memory even without deliberate intention to memorize it.<ref name=":2">{{Cite book|title=Fundamentals of Cognitive Neuroscience: A Beginner's Guide|last1=Gage|first1=Nicole|last2=Baars|first2=Bernard|publisher=Academic Press|year=2018|isbn=978-0-12-803813-0|location=London|page=219}}</ref> This is said to indicate a very large storage capacity of the brain for things that people pay attention to.<ref name=":2" />
