Enhanced action control as a prior function of episodic memory

Philipp Rau et al. Behav Brain Sci. 2018 Jan.

Abstract

Improved control of agency is likely to be a prior and more important function of episodic memory than the epistemic-communicative role pinpointed by Mahr & Csibra (M&C). Taking the memory trace upon which scenario construction is based to be a stored internal model produced in past perceptual processing promises to provide a better account of autonoetic character than metarepresentational embedding.
