Abstract

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.
