Toward an integrative account of internal and external determinants of event segmentation
Our daily experiences unfold continuously, but we remember them as a series of discrete
events through a process called event segmentation. Prominent theories of event …

More than a moment: What does it mean to call something an 'event'?
Experiences are stored in the mind as discrete mental units, or 'events,'which influence—
and are influenced by—attention, learning, and memory. In this way, the notion of an …

A neural network model of when to retrieve and encode episodic memories
Recent human behavioral and neuroimaging results suggest that people are selective in
when they encode and retrieve episodic memories. To explain these findings, we trained a …

Schemas, reinforcement learning and the medial prefrontal cortex
Schemas are rich and complex knowledge structures about the typical unfolding of events in
a context; for example, a schema of a dinner at a restaurant. In this Perspective, we suggest …

Mnemonic content and hippocampal patterns shape judgments of time
Our experience of time can feel dilated or compressed, rather than reflecting true “clock
time.” Although many contextual factors influence the subjective perception of time, it is …

The neural basis of event segmentation: Stable features in the environment are reflected by neural states
D Oetringer, D Gözükara, U Güçlü… - Imaging Neuroscience, 2024 - direct.mit.edu
Our senses receive a continuous stream of complex information. Parsing this information
into meaningful events allows us to extract relevant information, remember it, and act upon it …

Event integration and temporal differentiation: how hierarchical knowledge emerges in hippocampal subfields through learning
Everyday life is composed of events organized by changes in contexts, with each event
containing an unfolding sequence of occurrences. A major challenge facing our memory …

Atypical child–parent neural synchrony is linked to negative family emotional climate and children's psychopathological symptoms.
Family emotional climate is fundamental to children's well-being and mental health. Family
environments filled with negative emotions may lead to increased psychopathological …

Event boundaries help structure the content of episodic memories by segmenting
continuous experiences into discrete events. Event boundaries may also serve to preserve …

Neural activity differentiates novel and learned event boundaries
Y Ezzyat, A Clements - Journal of Neuroscience, 2024 - jneurosci.org
People parse continuous experiences at natural breakpoints called event boundaries, which
is important for understanding an environment's causal structure and for responding to …
