The Future of Memory: Remembering, Imagining, and the Brain (2012, background): “Moreover, several review papers had discussed relevant theoretical and conceptual issues (Atance and O’Neill, 2001, 2005; Clayton et al., 2003; Ingvar, 1979, 1985; Suddendorf and Corballis, 1997; Tulving, 1985, 2002a, 2002b, 2005; Wheeler et al., 1997).”
Darwin's mistake: Explaining the discontinuity between human and nonhuman minds (2008, unknown): “And they are able to update these representations in response to a single exposure (see, e.g., Clayton et al. 2003).”
The Episodic Memory System: Neurocircuitry and Disorders (2009, unknown): “By contrast, one particular form of declarative memory, called episodic memory, may be evolutionarily recent and its existence in animals is debated (Clayton et al, 2003).”
Entorhinal Cortex Lesions Disrupt the Relational Organization of Memory in Monkeys (2004, background): “One class of theories focuses on the content of encoded information, suggesting that memory is organized according to the “what, when, and where” dimensions of experience (for review, see Clayton et al., 2003).”
Symposium on S. Butterfill and I. Apperly, "How to Construct a Minimal Theory of Mind" (2013, background): “ere is some evidence that some nonhumans possess this ability (e.g. Clayton et al. 2003; Griffiths et al. 1999), but our proposal does not depend on this.”
On the link between conscious function and general intelligence in humans and machines (2022, background): “Of particular relevance to our overall discussion is its relationship to intelligence: mental time travel is driven by top-down processes that enable us to reason about situations beyond our current environment and needs (Clayton et al., 2003).”
