Title: Events, Narratives and Memory
Abstract: Whether non-human animals can have episodic memories remains the subject of
extensive debate. A number of prominent memory researchers defend the view that animals do
not have the same kind of episodic memory as humans do, whereas others argue that some
animals have episodic-like memory-i.e., they can remember what, where and when an event
happened. Defining what constitutes episodic memory has proven to be difficult. In this
paper, I propose a dual systems account and provide evidence for a distinction between
event memory and episodic memory. Event memory is a perceptual system that evolved to
support adaptive short-term goal processing, whereas episodic memory is based on
narratives, which bind event memories into a retrievable whole that is temporally and
causally organized around subject's goals. I argue that carefully distinguishing event
memory from episodic memory can help resolve the debate.
