About

Rebecca Dreier is a PhD student on the project titled "Episodic Memory: Uniquely Human?“. During her studies at the University of Tübingen, she delved into the nature of episodic memory, specifically in her BA thesis, and examined in her MA thesis whether remembering alone is sufficient to claim knowledge about the past.

In her doctoral research, Rebecca aims to further explore the functions of episodic memory. Her studies seek to provide insights into which animals might possess episodic memory and why. Additionally, she's interested in the methodologies used to investigate potential episodic memory in nonhuman species.
