求问GWD14套一篇阅读的问题

yizihuishi

一直对这篇文章有个疑问，就是实验到底能不能证明jay能bind information，原文说cannot reveal reexperience，而且也只说能证明retain，没说bind，可是很多题目都说实验能证明bind，这是怎么回事？

The term “episodic memory” was




      introduced by Tulving to refer to what he

      considered a uniquely human capacity—

Line       the ability to recollect specific past events,

(5)       to travel back into the past in one’s own

mind—as distinct from the capacity simply

to use information acquired through past

experiences.  Subsequently, Clayton et al.

developed criteria to test for episodic

(10)      memory in animals.  According to these

criteria, episodic memories are not of

individual bits of information; they involve

multiple components of a single event

“bound” together.  Clayton sought to

(15)      examine evidence of scrub jays’ accurate

memory of “what,” “where,” and “when”

information and their binding of this infor-

mation.  In the wild, these birds store food

for retrieval later during periods of food

(20)      scarcity.  Clayton’s experiment required

      jays to remember the type, location, and

      freshness of stored food based on a unique

learning event.  Crickets were stored in one

location and peanuts in another.  Jays

(25)      prefer crickets, but crickets degrade

more quickly.  Clayton’s birds switched

their preference from crickets to peanuts

once the food had been stored for a certain

length of time, showing that they retain

(30)      information about the what, the where,

and the when.  Such experiments cannot,

however, reveal whether the birds were

      reexperiencing the past when retrieving the

information.  Clayton acknowledged this by




using the term “episodic-like” memory

我认为jay是必然可以bind information的，因为它们可以学会将时间，地点和食物种类联系在一起。只是他们是不是reexperience the past 这个科学家不能完全确定。所以是 episodic-like。 但是能bind information并不等于有 episodic memory。
