No doing without time

Behav Brain Sci. 2019 Dec 12:42:e270. doi: 10.1017/S0140525X19000347.

Abstract

Hoerl & McCormack claim that animals don't represent time. Because this makes a mystery of established findings in comparative psychology, there had better be some important payoff. The main one they mention is that it explains a clash of intuition about the reality of time's passage. But any theory that recognizes the representational requirements of agency can do likewise.
