Hoerl & McCormack argue that animals cannot represent past situations and subsume animals’ memory-like representations within a model of the world. I suggest calling these memory-like representations as what they are without beating around the bush. I refer to them as event memories and explain how they are different from episodic memory and how they can guide action in animal cognition.

让我们称记忆为记忆，但是什么样的呢？

Hoerl & McCormack 认为动物不能代表过去的情况，也不能将动物的类似记忆的表征包含在世界模型中。我建议将这些类似记忆的表示称为它们的本来面目，而不是拐弯抹角。我将它们称为事件记忆，并解释它们与情景记忆有何不同，以及它们如何指导动物认知中的行动。
