But new evidence suggests that dogs may also have memories of moments in a time and a place, known as episodic memories. This was demonstrated through a game where dogs were tested on a memory of a trainer&#8217;s action. The animals were trained to observe a trainer&#8217;s action and then imitate it. Then, the dogs were re-trained to lie down immediately after the trainer performed an action. After the second training, the dogs once again received the command to imitate the trainer&#8217;s action, with no particular reward associated with this command. Results showed that dogs successfully recalled their trainers&#8217; actions, and those recollection also faded over time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Authors:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Claudia Fugazza, \u00c1kos Pog\u00e1ny, \u00c1d\u00e1m Mikl\u00f3si<\/p>\n<p><strong>Corresponding author:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Claudia Fugazza, MTA-ELTE Comparative Ethology Research Group, Budapest, Hungary, Email: claudia.happydog@gmail.com, Tel: +39 338 2064951<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1016\/j.cub.2016.09.057\" target=\"_blank\">Original paper<\/a> published in <em>Current Biology<\/em> on November 23, 2016.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Memory in non-human animals is largely a black box, because in humans the biggest proof of memory we have is transmitted through language.
