hmm.
today I am trying to plan what I am going to write a 10 page psych paper on. evidence of episodic memory in non-human mammals?
I am not sure how to write a paper on a scientific question and have it be anything but... "here is a list of the research (not very much). So far, the jury is still out on whether non-human animals have what is considered a human-like episodic memory. Part of the issue is that, you know, a scrub jay cannot say "hey, I totally remember putting this worm here! oh shit, I'm reliving past events through what one might call "mental time travel!" Instead, the scrub jay just makes it obvious that it remembers where it left something, and when, and then scientists change the definition of episodic memory so that this is not sufficient to count.""
also, wondering how long this girl thinks it is OK to wait before calling me back. It has not been long enough to be worried, but... it's not that hard to call someone back, you know?
