Memory and the self are interconnected with each other that, combined, can be defined as the Self-Memory System (SMS). The self is viewed as a combination of memories and self-images (working self). Conway proposes that a person’s long-term memory and working self are dependent on each other. Our prior knowledge of our self puts constraints on what our working self is and the working self modifies the access to our long-term memory, as well as, what it consists of.[28]

One view of the Self, following from John Locke, sees it as a product of episodic memory.[29] It has been suggested that transitory mental constructions within episodic memory form a self-memory system that grounds the goals of the working self,[29] but research upon those with amnesia find they have a coherent sense of self based upon preserved conceptual autobiographical knowledge,[30] and semantic facts, and so conceptual knowledge rather than episodic memory.[30]

Both episodic and semantic memory systems have been proposed to generate a sense of self-identity: personal episodic memory enables the phenomenological continuity of identity, while personal semantic memory generates the narrative continuity of identity.[31] "The nature of personal narratives depends on highly conceptual and ‘story-like’ information about one’s life, which resides at the general event level of autobiographical memory and is thus unlikely to rely on more event-specific episodic systems."[31]
