Essay

Refer to the scenario below to answer the questions that follow.
Clayton and Dickinson demonstrated episodic memory in scrub jays. The birds were allowed to hide worms (their preferred food) and peanuts. They then were allowed to retrieve the cached items 4 hours later and 124 hours later. For the experimental group, the cached worms were "spoiled" by the researcher just before the 124-hour retrieval. On subsequent trials, after a 4-hour period, the jays search for worms (the preferred food) more than for peanuts, but after a 124-hour period, they search for peanuts (the less preferred food) more than worms.
-If the scrub jays had both procedural and semantic memory, but not episodic memory, what would they have done on the two tests? Justify your answer.
