summaryWhy do we have the capacity to recollect past episodes and provide vivid simulation of future or simply possible scenes? Current models of episodic simulation are largely non-functional. They tell us little about why the capacity is advantageous for organisms. I outline three possible functional scenarios and their different predictions for the processes engaged in episodic simulation.
