Eichenbaum, Howard; Fortin, Norbert J. – Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, 2005
The notion that non-human animals are capable of episodic memory is highly controversial. Here, we review recent behavioral work from our laboratory showing that the fundamental features of episodic memory can be observed in rats and that, as in humans, this capacity relies on the hippocampus. We also discuss electrophysiological evidence, from…

Mareschal, Denis; Powell, Daisy; Westermann, Gert; Volein, Agnes – Infant and Child Development, 2005

However, existing work suggests that they do not make use of correlation information to form certain perceptual categories until at least 7 months of age. We suggest that the failure to use correlation information is a by-product of familiarization procedures…
