DESCRIPTION:People retrieve episodic memories about specific e
 arlier events that happened to them. Accordingly\,
  researchers have sought to evaluate the hypothesi
 s that nonhumans retrieve episodic memories. The c
 entral hypothesis of an animal model of episodic m
 emory is that\, at the moment of a memory assessme
 nt\, the animal retrieves a memory of a specific e
 arlier event. We tested this hypothesis by ruling 
 out non-episodic memory hypotheses. We developed a
  range of approaches\, so that we have working mod
 els to evaluate elements of episodic memory in ani
 mals. These approaches include: what-where-when me
 mory (Zhou & Crystal 2009\, PNAS)\; source memory 
 (Crystal\, Alford\, Zhou\, & Hohmann 2013\, Curren
 t Biology)\; binding of episodic memories (Crystal
  & Smith 2014\, Current Biology)\; multiple item-i
 n-context memories (Panoz-Brown et al.\, 2016\, Cu
 rrent Biology)\; replay of episodic memories (Pano
 z-Brown et al.\, 2018\, Current Biology)\; and ans
 wering unexpected questions after incidental encod
 ing (Zhou\, Hohmann\, & Crystal 2012\, Current Bio
 logy). In each approach\, evidence for episodic me
 mory comes from studies in which judgments of fami
 liarity cannot produce accurate choices in memory 
 assessments. These approaches may be used to explo
 re the evolution of memory. \n\nBiography\n\nJonat
 hon Crystal is a Professor of Psychological & Brai
 n Sciences at Indiana University\, where he is als
 o a faculty member in the Cognitive Science Progra
 m\, Program in Neuroscience\, and Center for the I
 ntegrative Study of Animal Behavior. He is Editor-
 in-Chief of Learning & Behavior. He previously ser
 ved as Director of the Program in Neuroscience at 
 Indiana\, and he was a Professor of Psychology at 
 University of Georgia and an Assistant Professor a
 t College of William & Mary. He received PhD (1997
 ) and Master of Science (1994) degrees from Brown 
 University\, in the laboratory of Russ Church. He 
 received a Bachelor of Science (1992) from the Uni
 versity of Toronto\, where he worked in the labora
 tories of Sara Shettleworth and Ken Cheng. The obj
 ective of work in the Crystal laboratory is to dev
 elop animal models of memory\, focusing on the typ
 es of memory that are impaired in human diseases. 
 His lab has developed a number of techniques for e
 valuating cognition in rats\, including: replay of
  episodic memories\, binding of episodic memories\
 , prospective memory\, what-where-when memory\, so
 urce memory\, metacognition\, and retrieval practi
 ce. These approaches can be used in animal models 
 of human diseases of memory\, such as Alzheimer's 
 disease\, and may be used to explore the evolution
  of memory. Crystal is a Fellow of American Psycho
 logical Association\, Association for Psychologica
 l Science\, Psychonomic Society\, and Eastern Psyc
 hological Association\n\n
