Mental time travel: continuities and discontinuities
Copyright policy )Mental time travel: continuities and discontinuities
Over 15 years ago, Michael Corballis and I first discussed the evolution of the human capacity to travel mentally in time [1]. Extensive research has since aimed to demonstrate similar nonhuman animal capacities [2], but Corballis and I have repeatedly found the evidence wanting [3,4]. It is hence noteworthy that, in light of new neuroscientific data [5,6], Corballis is now questioning whether mental time travel is uniquely human [7]. Here, I outline reasons why I think the evidence fails to show that animals travel mentally in time as humans do.
