Great news about your daughter. Congrats all round.

As a person who is tuned to creation/nature, I thought that you may enjoy this: Elephant cognition

Here is an extract that may explain the reason that elephants are thought to have a better spacial memory than humans.
Elephants also have a very large and highly convoluted hippocampus, a brain structure in the limbic system that is much bigger than that of any human, primate or cetacean.[17] The hippocampus of an elephant takes up about 0.7% of the central structures of the brain, comparable to 0.5% for humans and with 0.1% in Risso's dolphins and 0.05% in bottlenose dolphins.[18]
The hippocampus is linked to emotion through the processing of certain types of memory, especially spatial. This is thought to be possibly why elephants suffer from psychological flashbacks and the equivalent of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).[19][20]

I have observed elephants in a number of habitats and circumstances that included a group that grew up without adults around to supervise them; many became unruly delinquents. Introduced mature adults sorted most of them out but still left a significant number with problems. Not disimilar to what I would expect in a human population.
