Hoffman, M. L., Beran, M. J., & Washburn, D. A. (2009).  Memory for 'what,' 'where,' and 'when' information in rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta).  Journal of Experimental Psychology: Animal Behavior Processes, 35, 143-152.  

The present study examined working memory for what, where, and when information in rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) using a computerized task. In Experiment 1, monkeys completed three delayed matching-to-sample (DMTS) tasks: (1) identity DMTS, (2) spatial DMTS, and (3) temporal DMTS. In Experiment 2, the identity and spatial tasks were combined so that monkeys had to report both what and where information about an event. In Experiment 3, the identity, spatial, and temporal tasks were combined to examine what-where-when memory integration. The rhesus monkeys reported all three components of the events, and there was some evidence suggesting that these components were integrated in working memory.
