I believe this is the link you're looking for (haven't read it yet, but I did verify that the full text is available): A raven's memories are for the future http://science.sciencemag.org/content/357/6347/126 http://science.sciencemag.org/content/357/6347/126 When searching, I also found this, which I missed the first time around, and it might be interesting to some: Subadult ravens generally don't transfer valuable tokens to conspecifics when there is nothing to gain for themselves https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4484978/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4484978/

Thanks for the links. If the first link is what they're referring too, then it's a pretty dumb headline. That article is a non-peer reviewed perspective on some recent research. To provide background they make a throw away comment about some work done in 2007 [1] and say it's kind of similar to what you see in 4 year old children (in another study). The original researchers don't seem to have made that statement, or attempted to support it. So... par for the course for New Scientist I guess...
