Tulving, who is not afraid to speculate, presented his case for the idea that the frontal lobes are responsible for culture and civilization.
Tulving then recounted his studies of a brain-damaged man with the initials K.C. is perfectly normal mentally and possesses a compete set of memories - at least of semantic memories.
Tulving's final argument was that without this personal sense of time, without the ability to time travel through our past and into our future, there would be no culture.

Tulving, an emeritus professor at the University of Toronto, has been a visiting scholar at Washington University since 1996, normally spending two or three months on campus each year.
Tulving is perhaps best known for his research on episodic memory, much of it summarized in his 1983 book, Elements of Episodic Memory (Oxford University Press).
Tulving argued that the key problem in human memory is retrieval of information, and he spent much of his career in studying factors that affect retrieval of information.

Endel Tulving, in his paper 'How Many Memory Systems Are There' (1985), provides the answer to the question posed in the title by outlining his own monohierarchical multimemory systems model.
Tulving neglects to mention who is fortunate enough to possess all three systems, which enables him to leave unaddressed any questions of the 'do dogs and cats have souls' variety, but it would be safe to conclude that children beyond a certain undefined age and normally functioning adult humans would be the prime candidates.
Tulving interprets the time-dependent recognition task as being the concern of episodic memory, while he remains uncommitted to the nature of the memory system involved in the word fragment completion task.

Presenting today at the American Association for the Advancement of Science 2000 Annual Meeting, Dr. Endel Tulving says the part of memory concerned with remembering past experiences has helped human culture to evolve.
A pioneer in memory research who has laid the groundwork for important discoveries, Dr. Tulving says episodic memory gives rise to the unique human ability to be aware of the future.
Tulving, who holds an Anne and Max Tanenbaum Chair in Cognitive Neuroscience at the Rotman Research Institute at Baycrest, added that recent functional neuroimaging research done at the Institute has identified regions of the frontal lobes that seem to be critically involved in awareness of the past, and probably of the future.

 What makes mental time travel possible?
Tulving's theory stems from extensive memory research he's conducted since the 1950s at Toronto, Yale University and the Toronto-based Rotman Research Institute--and, he said, others' research supports it too.
Tulving went on to explain how and why humans have adapted chronesthesia--a learned capability absent in other animals and human infants--to advance their survival.
Over time, said Tulving, people discovered that recalling past events helped them learn what to avoid and how to behave in the future--its key feature, he said.

 Canadian Psychology: Memory, Consciousness, and the Brain: Tha Tallinn Conference / The Oxford Handbook of Memory   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
The reason for this is the publication of two notable books on the topic: Memory, Consciousness, and the Brain: The Tallinn Conference, edited by Endel Tulving, and The Oxford Handbook of Memory, edited by Tulving and Fergus Craik, both longtime and distinguished Canadian scientists in the field.
Not surprisingly, those that Tulving himself has brought to centre stage are all there: retrieval, encoding-retrieval interactions, varieties of consciousness, memory systems, and brain-hemisphere encoding-retrieval asymmetries.
As for Tulving's view of a peak in 1983, it can now be appreciated that it was but an interim high and that substantially more progress was to come.

 6-04 Computers are not introspective.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Joseph Rychlak summarizes Tulving's argument very well: "Tulving (1983) notes that human beings have 'episodic' memories, by which he means the more introspectively conceived, highly personal events and interpretations of 'life episodes' that play such a significant role in the human experience.
Since computers never live according to the introspective perspective within which such life episodes are framed, it follows that there is a significant impasse between what human and machine cognition involves.
Tulving himself writes, "Although some theorists are optimistic about the prospects of endowing computers with episodic memories (e.g., Schank and Kolodner 1979) I am skeptical.

Episodic memory was defined in 1972 by Tulving as an individual’s autobiographical record of past experience.
One such example of episodic memory is a memory about visiting Grandma’s house for Easter.
Tulving suggested that episodic memory was a system that received and stored information about the events that happened to the individual, retaining with them information about when and where they occurred.

Perhaps Tulving's most surprising finding was that forced-choice picture recognition can be higher, under certain circumstances, when distractors are more similar to targets rather than less similar (Tulving, 1981).
A major lesson I learned from Tulving was that just because many people believe something does not make it true; on the contrary, Tulving has tended throughout his career to be skeptical of things that a lot of people believe.
