Encoding third-person epistemic states contributes to episodic reconstruction of memories

Dora Kampis et al. Behav Brain Sci. 2018 Jan.

Abstract

We propose an extension to Mahr & Csibra's (M&C's) theory. For successful episodic memory formation, potentially relevant aspects of a situation need to be identified and encoded online and retained for prospective interactions. To be maximally convincing, the communicator not only has to encode not just any contextual detail, but also has to track information in relation to social partners.
