Dogs don't remember what happened yesterday

Dogs are wonderful creatures. Our dogs recognize me and are always happy to see me. Dogs are also smart and successful creatures. Our dogs have learned several cute tricks. But dogs (and other non-human animals) are missing something we take for granted: episodic memory. Dogs don't remember what happened yesterday and don't plan for tomorrow.
In defining episodic memory, Endel Tulving argued that it is unique to humans. Experience influences all animals. Most mammals and birds can build complex sets of knowledge or semantic memory. You and I also remember the experience of learning these complex sets of information. Dogs don't.

Why does my dog start shaking when she sees the vet building?

That's absolute bullshite.
My dog knows the sound of cheese opening. She doesn't have to re "learn" it everyday.

I don't know.
How would positive reinforcement be an effective training tool if the dog had no memory of that positive reinforcement?

Not sure about all that but I had a dog that could tell time. Bitch would get out the yard and run all day but return before I got home. One day she got hit.

My dog will hide bones at the in laws house when we are over there. As soon as we go back, maybe 6 months later, he goes straight to where he put the bone.
I'd say he has some memory.

So true. Everyday I have to re train my dog to not shite in the house.

I don't see how anyone would even begin to know what goes through a dog's mind.

Yep, my dog hadn't been to my parents house for a year and immediately when to the closet they keep dog toys and treats in.

Or gets excited when he sees me turn toward day camp? They have to have some sort of memory.

I realize it's psychology and it's very diffcult to do scientfically sound research on many of its topics, but this is just so flimsy...
My 6 year old acts this way. A short attention span =/= lack of memories.

My dogs display this particular failure of episodic remembering. If I walk into the backyard, the dogs are overjoyed to see me and act like they haven't seen me for days. If I stay in the backyard, they quickly become bored with me. If I go inside and return after 10-15 minutes, my dogs are overjoyed to see me and act like they haven't seen me in days. They don't remember that I was in the backyard just a few minutes ago.
