Jason heard an old but familiar song that reminded him about a summer in Austria when he was in college. As he thought more about his summer of the past, a flood of memories came rushing back
Describe what was happening to Jason in terms of memory markers. What specific term is used to describe the process whereby his memories came flooding back?
Memory markers are retrieval cues. The song acted as a mnemonic device that allowed Jason to retrieve episodic memories. A mnemonic is a cue that is memorized along with a memory that will trigger the memory. Episodic memories are those that allow us to remember what we did, or what happened to us or others, and in what order. Spontaneous recovery explains why Jason's memories came rushing back.
