In the peer-reviewed, open access journal, PLOS ONE, a new research article, “Eurasian jays (Garrulus glandarius) show episodic-like memory through the incidental encoding of information,” indicates that some birds may be able to use “mental time travel,” a capability thought to be unique to humans. Mental time travel is the capacity to mentally reconstruct personal events from the past, aka,…

Scientists find Eurasian jays can use 'mental time travel' like humans

Eurasian jays can remember incidental details of past events, which is characteristic of episodic memory in humans, according to a study pub

Eurasian jays can remember incidental details of past events, which is characteristic of episodic memory in humans, according to a study published May 15, 2024, in the open-access journal PLOS ONE by James Davies of the University of Cambridge, U.K., and colleagues. When remembering events, humans have the ability of "mental time travel," consciously reimagining past experiences and potentially recalling details that seemed unimportant at the time. Some researchers have suggested that this "episodic memory" is unique to humans. In this study, Davies and colleagues ran a memory experiment to test for episodic-like memory in seven Eurasian jays, birds that excel at remembering the location of stored food.

Managing Memory Changes In the Elderly

Memory changes in the elderly can strain relationships and affect cognition. The Sound Mind Hub suggests proactive strategies to help manage these changes effectively.

As individuals age, the functionality of their memory gradually diminishes. This can prove challenging for elderly individuals who possess a clear understanding of their cognitive abilities. Furthermore, the shifts in memory that occur within the elderly population can be subtle, making them harder to identify. Consequently, this may create tension within parent-adult child relationships, as the…

Memory Changes In Adulthood

Memory, a critical cognitive process, experiences five key changes in adulthood: episodic memory decline, working memory limitations, prospective memory challenges, source memory difficulties, and increased reliance on semantic memory. Learn more...

Introduction Memory is a fundamental cognitive process that allows individuals to encode, store, and retrieve information. While memory abilities tend to decline with age, it is important to note that not all aspects of memory are affected equally. In adulthood, there are five key memory changes that occur, namely, Episodic memory decline. Working memory limitations. Prospective memory…

Animals do have memories, and can help us crack Alzheimer’s – April Reese | Aeon Ideas

Animals use tools, love their friends and remember our faces. These complex memories could help treat Alzheimer’s in humans

The Cartesian view that animals are mere automata with no capacity for feeling emotions, having inner lives and forming social connections has influenced our treatment of and relationship with animals for centuries. But piles of scientific evidence to the contrary have been mounting. This piece from Aeon tackles the recent studies on animals and episodic memory. Hopefully, our ethics and laws catch up with our science. N.B. I remain troubled by the use of animals in experiments, and I see the irony in discovering the individuality of animals and their capacity for suffering while at the same time subjecting them to needless experiments. Creating “designer rats,” for instance, only to relegate them to brief lives of experimentation is something that disturbs me greatly. What I’m saying is, yes, as a vegan and as a human, there are aspects of human life that I grapple with, and this is one of them. Should animals be used in the acquisition of human knowledge to our benefit? What I know for sure is that we have to always find other ways where no animal exploitation is involved.
