Mahr & Csibra (M&C) provide extensive evidence for the communicative function of episodic memory, suggesting that the malleability of human memory is in large part due to its communicative dimension. I argue that emphasizing the relational motivations involved in communication provides a more proximal explanation for why our memories are as malleable.

情景记忆既关乎沟通，也关乎与他人的关系

Mahr & Csibra (M&C) 为情景记忆的交流功能提供了广泛的证据，表明人类记忆的延展性在很大程度上是由于其交流维度。我认为，强调沟通中涉及的关系动机为我们的记忆为何具有可塑性提供了更接近的解释。
