Event perception and memory
JM Zacks - Annual review of psychology, 2020 - annualreviews.org
Events make up much of our lived experience, and the perceptual mechanisms that
represent events in experience have pervasive effects on action control, language use, and …

Map making: constructing, combining, and inferring on abstract cognitive maps
Cognitive maps enable efficient inferences from limited experience that can guide novel
decisions. We tested whether the hippocampus (HC), entorhinal cortex (EC), and …

Predictions transform memories: How expected versus unexpected events are integrated or separated in memory
Our brains constantly generate predictions about the environment based on prior
knowledge. Many of the events we experience are consistent with these predictions, while …

Transcending time in the brain: How event memories are constructed from experience
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 …

Pupil-linked arousal signals track the temporal organization of events in memory
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 hippocampal film editor: sensitivity and specificity to event boundaries in continuous experience
A Ben-Yakov, RN Henson - Journal of Neuroscience, 2018 - Soc Neuroscience
The function of the human hippocampus is normally investigated by experimental
manipulation of discrete events. Less is known about what triggers hippocampal activity …

Awake reactivation of prior experiences consolidates memories and biases cognition
After experiences are encoded into memory, post-encoding reactivation mechanisms have
been proposed to mediate long-term memory stabilization and transformation. Spontaneous …

The neural bases for timing of durations
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 …

The human brain reactivates context-specific past information at event boundaries of naturalistic experiences
Although we perceive the world in a continuous manner, our experience is partitioned into
discrete events. However, to make sense of these events, they must be stitched together into …
