Mahr & Csibra (M&C) propose that episodic memory evolved to support epistemic authority in social communication. We argue for a more parsimonious interpretation whereby episodic memory subserves a broader preparatory function for both social and non-social behavior. We conclude by highlighting that functional accounts of episodic memory may need to consider the complex interrelations between self and subjective time.
马尔和 Csibra（M&C）提出，情景记忆是为了支持社会交往中的认知权威而进化的。我们认为，有一种更简约的解释，即情景记忆为社会和非社会行为都提供了更广泛的预备功能。最后，我们强调，情景记忆的功能解释可能需要考虑自我和主观时间之间的复杂关系。
