The relation between source memory and episodic memory: Comment on Siedlecki et al (2005) [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
On the basis of an interesting structural equation analysis, K. L. Siedlecki, T. A. Salthouse, and D. E. Berish (see record [rid]2005-02476-002[/rid]) argued that 'it may not be meaningful to refer to source memory as a construct distinct from episodic memory' (p. 31). This commentary highlights that this same point could also be made on conceptual grounds. To suggest that source and episodic memory are distinct concepts would confound tasks with theoretical constructs. All episodic tasks involve making attributions about the origin of mental experiences (source monitoring). Conversely, source memory tasks are designed to investigate episodic memory. No task is special, but each may be useful, depending on the focus of interest. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)
