“…It takes advantage of the tendency to explore novel objects, seen in many species, to demonstrate spontaneous recall (Menzel, 1999). It tests an animal's recall of an event when the test is not expected (Zentall et al, 2001) and may even allow for a test of past events over a long period of time (Schwartz & Evans, 2001) although no such long term tests have yet been carried out.…”

“…In addition to the innovative what/where/which definition, Eacott and Norman's (2004) unique method of testing episodic-like memory meets the requirements of spontaneous recall (Menzel, 1999) and recall during an unexpected test (Zentall et al, 2001). found that rats can integrate memories of a specific object (what), its spatial location (where) and the context in which it occurs (which) to discriminate the more novel of two object/location/context combinations.…”

“…However, by studying food caching (Clayton & Dickinson, 1998), food finding (Babb & Crystal, 2006), fear conditioning (O'Brien & Sutherland, 2007), and object exploration , researchers claim to have demonstrated a form of episodic memory in scrub jays (Clayton & Dickinson, 1998), pigeons (Zentall et al, 2001), mice (Dere et al, 2005), rats O'Brien & Sutherland, 2007), gorillas (Schwartz & Evans, 2001), rhesus monkeys (Hoffman et al, 2009), and chimpanzees/bonobos (Menzel, 1999;Martin-Ordas et al, 2010).…”

“…Schwartz, Hoffman and Evans (2005) outlined five operational definitions of non-human episodic memory including: (1) the demonstration of what/where/when memory (Clayton & Dickinson, 1998;Babb & Crystal, 2006), (2) the demonstration of what/where/which memory , (3) the demonstration of spontaneous recall (Menzel, 1999), (4) the ability to recall an event when not expecting a test (Zentall et al, 2001), and (5) the ability to report on past events over a long term (Schwartz & Evans, 2001). Unfortunately, these definitions tend to be species-specific.…”

“…Recently, however, there has been a surge of interest in the possibility of episodic or episodic-like memory in non-humans (Clayton & Dickinson, 1998;Clayton, Yu, & Dickinson, 2001;Menzel, 1999;Morris, 2002;Schwartz, Colon, Sanchez, Rodriguez, & Evans, 2002;Schwartz, Meissner, HoVman, Evans, & Frazier, 2004;Zentall, Clement, Bhatt, & Allen, 2001).…”

Evolution of the neural basis of consciousness: a bird–mammal comparison

et al. 2005

The main objective of this essay is to validate some of the principal, currently competing, mammalian consciousness–brain theories by comparing these theories with data on both cognitive abilities and brain organization in birds. Our argument is that, given that multiple complex cognitive functions are correlated with presumed consciousness in mammals, this correlation holds for birds as well. Thus, the neuroanatomical features of the forebrain common to both birds and mammals may be those that are crucial to the generation of both complex cognition and consciousness. The general conclusion is that most of the consciousness–brain theories appear to be valid for the avian brain. Even though some specific homologies are unresolved, most of the critical structures presumed necessary for consciousness in mammalian brains have clear homologues in avian brains. Furthermore, considering the fact that the reptile–bird brain transition shows more structural continuity than the stem amniote–mammalian transition, the line drawn at the origin of mammals for consciousness by several of the theorists seems questionable. An equally important point is that consciousness cannot be ruled out in the absence of complex cognition; it may in fact be the case that consciousness is a necessary prerequisite for complex cognition.
