While episodic memory can be visual or auditory, its learning
mechanism should be different from other types of memory 
that learn classes of patterns from a large number of iterations.
Episodic memory is the memory of one-shot episodes (though
it may *use* the same iterative learning mechanism).

Besides, human episodic memory normally locates episodes
in a time-line, so that its artificial realization would require 
some mechanism to 'grasp' the structure of time in which the
agent lives.
