Abstract

This thesis aims to address the involvement of working memory during episodic retrieval under when forming sampling-based
evaluations (SBE). This was achieved by examining benchmark findings from the free recall literature to assess fundamental
aspects of episodic retrieval when 1) a concurrent working memory load was enforced; and 2) only one of several possible
experiences competing for retrieval is being targeted for. The overall results of this thesis support a view of SBE that does
not presume the need for explicit episodic retrieval. Instead, I find evidence for a reliance on gist-like representations in the
formation of SBEs.
