Epiphenomenalism refers to the form of emergentism that states that mental events emerge from brain activity but that mental events are subsequently behaviorally irrelevant.
Epiphenomenon is defined as a secondary phenomenon, one resulting from another. Likewise, it is defined as an additional symptom appearing during the course of an illness, but not necessarily related to it.
Epiphysis is defined as the end of a long bone, often enlarged and shaped to join the Epiphysis of an adjacent bone, formed from cancellous or trabecular bone.
Episode refers to a time-limited period during which specific symptoms of a disorder are present.
Episodic buffer is defined as a limited-capacity system that is capable of binding information from the subsidiary systems and from long-term memory into a unitary episodic representation. Episodic buffer is a component of Baddeley's working memory model that is hypothesized to temporarily maintain and integrate the information of different sensory inputs (visual and auditory) through its relationship with long-term memory.
