Context is widely regarded as a major determinant of learning and memory across
numerous domains, including classical and instrumental conditioning, episodic memory …

Episodic memory reflects the ability to recollect the temporal and spatial context of past
experiences. Episodic memories depend on the hippocampus but have been proposed to …

Events associated with aversive or rewarding outcomes are prioritized in memory. This
memory boost is commonly attributed to the elicited affective response, closely linked to …

How do collective events shape how we remember our lives? We leveraged advances in
natural language processing as well as a rich, longitudinal assessment of 1,000 Americans …

Our daily lives unfold continuously, yet when we reflect on the past, we remember those
experiences as distinct and cohesive events. To understand this phenomenon, early …

Everyday life unfolds continuously, yet we tend to remember past experiences as discrete
event sequences or episodes. Although this phenomenon has been well documented, the …

The empirical study of belief is emerging at a rapid clip, uniting work from all corners of
cognitive science. Reliance on belief in understanding and predicting behavior is …

The function of the human hippocampus is normally investigated by experimental
manipulation of discrete events. Less is known about what triggers hippocampal activity …

Durations are defined by a beginning and an end, and a major distinction is drawn between
durations that start in the present and end in the future ('prospective timing') and durations …

Humans spontaneously organize a continuous experience into discrete events and use the
learned structure of these events to generalize and organize memory. We introduce the …
