| Abstract | A fundamental question in the development of animal models of episodic memory concerns the role of temporal processes in episodic memory. Gallistel, (1990) developed a framework in which animals remember specific features about an event, including the time of occurrence of the event and its location in space. Gallistel proposed that timing is based on a series of biological oscillators, spanning a wide range of periods. Accordingly, a snapshot of the phases of multiple oscillators provides a representation of the time of occurrence of the event. I review research on basic timing mechanisms that may support memory for times of occurrence. These studies suggest that animals use biological oscillators to represent time. Next, I describe recently developed animal models of episodic memory that highlight the importance of temporal representations in memory. One line of research suggests that an oscillator representation of time supports episodic memory. A second line of research highlights the flow of events in time in episodic memory. Investigations that integrate time and memory may advance the development of animal models of episodic memory. |
