Retrieval context determines whether event boundaries impair or enhance temporal order memory

T Wen, T Egner - Cognition, 2022 - Elsevier
Meaningful changes in context create “event boundaries”, segmenting continuous
experience into distinct episodes in memory. A foundational finding in this literature is that …

Opposite effects of emotion and event segmentation on temporal order memory and object-context binding

M Riegel, D Granja, T Amer, P Vuilleumier… - Cognition and …, 2023 - Taylor & Francis
Our daily lives unfold continuously, yet our memories are organised into distinct events,

Event boundaries structure the contents of long-term memory in younger and older adults

EE Davis, KL Campbell - Memory, 2023 - Taylor & Francis
Event boundaries impose structure on how events are stored in long-term memory.
Research with young adults has shown that associations within events are stronger than …
