Abstract
Phlosophy of memory is a hot topic in the cognitive sciences and philosophy of mind. This work examines the dispute between simulations and causal theoris of memory by means of an examination of the feeling of familiarity and its relation to memory traces, more specifically in how they increase the fluency of reconstruction of past episodes. Understanding the relationship between familiarity and memory traces, and furthermore, the relation between a fully-fledged phenomenology of memory and a sense of subjective certainty of the episode has occurred in the past leads to a different interpretation of the rivalry between the CTM and the simulationist account
