            'The human ability to travel mentally in time constitutes a discontinuity between ourselves and other animals.
            Mental time travel comprises the mental reconstruction of personal events from the past (episodic memory) and
            the mental construction of possible events in the future. It is not an isolated module, but depends on the
            sophistication of other cognitive capacities, including self-awareness, meta-representation, mental attribution,
            understanding the perception- knowledge relationship, and dissociation of imagined mental states from one's
            present mental state. '
