In particular, there is an area in which I do feel—all too well—that I am weaker than most: my memory of past episodes.
I seem to have an extremely poor ability to "relive" past events mentally.
I wanted to bring back specific episodes, one-time events that we had experienced together, but I could find very little.
If I can remember where something happened, there is a good chance I can remember many more details about what happened.
In short, I use my semantic and spatial memory to fill in what my episodic memory is unable to recover (or store).
