“…Here, we examine the three main approaches used to study the memory for events in context: ( (16)]. This approach has also been adapted to many mammalian species, including rats (14,(17)(18)(19), mice (20), meadow voles (21), pigs (22), nonhuman primates (23,24), and humans (25,26). It is important to note that the structure and flexibility criteria have been much less investigated than the content criterion so it remains to be determined whether all these species will meet all three behavioral criteria.…”

One prominent view holds that episodic memory emerged recently in humans and lacks a "(neo)Darwinian evolution" [Tulving E (2002) Annu Rev Psychol 53:1-25]. Here, we review evidence supporting the alternative perspective that episodic memory has a long evolutionary history. We show that fundamental features of episodic memory capacity are present in mammals and birds and that the major brain regions responsible for episodic memory in humans have anatomical and functional homologs in other species. We propose that episodic memory capacity depends on a fundamental neural circuit that is similar across mammalian and avian species, suggesting that protoepisodic memory systems exist across amniotes and, possibly, all vertebrates. The implication is that episodic memory in diverse species may primarily be due to a shared underlying neural ancestry, rather than the result of evolutionary convergence. We also discuss potential advantages that episodic memory may offer, as well as species-specific divergences that have developed on top of the fundamental episodic memory architecture. We conclude by identifying possible time points for the emergence of episodic memory in evolution, to help guide further research in this area.animal models | hippocampus | prefrontal cortex | parahippocampal region | entorhinal cortex

“…This also implies that some components of episodic memory (e.g., the 'when' aspect) may be late developmental achievements (McCormack & Hoerl, 1999). Recent evidence is in accordance with this claim (Hayne & Imuta, 2011;McCormack & Hoerl, 2007). For example, in a hide-and-seek task 3-year-old children were able to recall in what room ('where') three toys ('what') had been hidden, but unlike their 4-year-old peers, the 3-year-olds had difficulties recalling the order ('when') in which the objects had been hidden (Hayne & Imuta, 2011).…”

On the development of episodic memory: Two basic questions

et al. 2013

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In this focused review we present and discuss two basic questions related to the early development of episodic memory in children: (1) "What is an episode?", and (2) "How do preverbal children recall a specific episode of a recurring event?" First, a brief introduction to episodic memory is outlined. We argue in favor of employing a definition of episodic memory allowing us to investigate the development of episodic memory by purely behavioral measures. Second, research related to each of the two questions are presented and discussed, at first separately, and subsequently together. We argue and attempt to demonstrate, that pursuing answers to both questions is of crucial importance -both conceptually and methodologically -if we are ever to understand the early development of episodic memory.3

“…Por otro lado, esta preparación metodoló-gica en comparación con las descritas anteriormente (Hayne & Imuta, 2011;Russell & Davies, 2012;Russell et al, 2010;Russell et al, 2011) es sensible a la cognición episódica del recuerdo de la MTE. Por ejemplo, los resultados obtenidos en este experimento reflejan que los participantes actúan episódica y funcionalmente al mismo tiempo, ya que en esta tarea eligen el mejor beneficio a partir de recuperar el QDC de manera integrada desde un único evento.…”

Resumen: La Memoria Tipo Episódica (MTE) implica la recuperación integrada de elementos míni-mos de la memoria episódica: Qué, Dónde y Cuándo (QDC) de un evento personal. Investigaciones sugieren que una tarea adecuada para niños debe realizarse con una perspectiva egocéntrica y ocurrir en un solo ensayo, porque al realizarse con varios ensayos esto implica el uso de información semántica. Se diseñó una tarea con una perspectiva egocéntrica y realizable en un único ensayo de entrenamiento, que manipuló la magnitud de la consecuencia para dos experiencias, así como el intervalo entre entrenamiento y prueba. Niños preescolares, desde una perspectiva egocéntrica, buscaron monedas grandes o pequeñas en tres contenedores y eligieron el contenido preferido tras dos intervalos de tiempo. La elección de los participantes mostró la recuperación integrada del QDC a partir de un solo ensayo de entrenamiento. Además, las elecciones de los preescolares reflejaron sus estrategias de recuperación: la inmediatez o mayor consecuencia. La tarea se basa en las representaciones del participante más que en la capacidad de reporte verbal, lo que hace a esta preparación sensible a la cognición episódica del recuerdo de la MTE en niños.Abstract: Episodic Like-Memory (ELM) involves the integrated retrieval of minimum elements of episodic memory: the What, Where and When (WWW) knowledge of a personal event.Research suggests that an appropriate task for children should be done with an egocentric perspective and occur in a single trial, because if several trials take place, it implies the use of semantic information. A task with an egocentric perspective and achievable in a single training trial was designed; this task manipulated the magnitude of the consequence for two experiences and the interval between training and test. Preschoolers, from an egocentric perspective, searched for big or small coins in three containers and chose their favorite content after two time intervals. The participants' choices showed the integrated retrieval of WWW from a single training trial. In addition, preschoolers' choices reflected their retrieval strategies: immediacy or greater consequence. The task is based on the representations of the participant rather than verbal reporting capability, which makes this preparation sensitive to episodic cognition of ELM recollection in children.Palabras clave: memoria episódica, perspectiva egocéntrica, niños preescolares, memoria tipo episódica, qué-dónde-cuándo.
