Document Summary
Ps261- lecture 9 episodic-like memory (time and number) The curious case of the amazing memory of the western scrub jay: Good at episodic memory episodic memory involves re-experiencing the original event(memory time travel, re presenting that specific event) Allow them to retrieve the cache after 4-124 hours. What, where, when, and how (for various events) You can also cache memories for the future. (imagining future events/plan ahead) Spoon test: simple test for testing whether an animal is able to remember/recall a specific event. Tool use- use of specific tool to help achieve a specific goal. Being able to cast ourselves forward into the future. Bischof-kohler hypothesis: animals are trapped in their current motivational state. Stimulus specific satiety: very often if you are eating something(eating food of type 1 full); this means you are only going to be full after eating that specific food this means that the response is stimulus specific.
