Space, and not Time, Provides the Basic Structure of Memory

2023-12-18

Abstract excerpt

<p>When entering an environment, animals – including humans – tend to consult their memories to determine what they know about the place. This information is useful to determine: is this place safe? And what happens next? In this chapter, we argue on both empirical and conceptual grounds that memory is largely organized by space. Spatial relations determine what is recalled and which experiences are combined in ge...
