What Charan Ranganath actually said

  1. Charan Ranganath Professor of psychology and neuroscience at the University of California
    is this idea that we form these internal models at particular points of high prediction error or points of, I believe also points of uncertainty, points of surprise or motivationally significant periods. And those points are when it’s maximally optimal to encode an episodic memory.
