Aging and Event Segmentation
Episodic memory, our memory for events in our lives, typically becomes less detailed and more prone to error with advancing age. An extensive literature exists investigating age-related memory decline using simple stimuli (e.g., words, pictures), but fewer studies have used naturalistic stimuli …

A linguistic analysis of event conceptualisation processes in first and second language discourse: Evidence for language-specificity in the temporal discourse organisation of basic and advanced Czech and Hungarian learners of English
… in second language learners by comparing event construal patterns in first language (L1) and second language (L2) discourse. Previous research suggests that the way grammatical aspect is encoded in the speaker's L1 can influence how events are conceptualised in their L2 (von Stutterheim & …

Closure: a mind/brain perspective
… of this sensation through a review of Event Segmentation Theory. This allows me to construct a lens through which to revisit the existing work on non tonal endings and discuss their potential closural effect. My discussion concludes that, in the absence of a well-developed or commonly …

The effect of visual distraction on memory for words, pictures and complex events
… retrieval-accuracy of details embedded in an event. However, research on verbal memory suggest that distraction effects may be selective: Glenberg, Schroeder and Robertson’s (1998) widely cited study found distraction to impair recall of mid-list words from multiple word-lists but Rae’s (2011) …

The Role of Context in Stimulus-Response Binding and Retrieval
… into an episodic representation, called an event file or a stimulus-response (S-R) episode, which can be retrieved upon feature repetition. As compared with the target and the distractor, the context (i.e., an additional stimulus presented together with the target and the distractor, but not …

Examining the Effect of Interruptions at Different Breakpoints and Frequencies Within a Task
… occurs. The present study explored how event segmentation theory (EST) can be used to determine optimal moments for an interruption relying on hierarchical task analysis (HTA) to identify coarse and fine event boundaries. Utilizing a 2 X 3 mixed design, undergraduate students completed a …

The spatiotemporal dynamics of visual attention during real-world event perception
Everyday event perception requires us to perceive a nearly constant stream of dynamic information. Although we perceive these events as being continuous, there is ample evidence that we “chunk” our experiences into manageable bits (Zacks & Swallow, 2007). These chunks can occur at fine and coarse …

Audio-visual football video analysis, from structure detection to attention analysis
… Related algorithms are developed, such as event segmentation on a MAR tree and real time event detection. The experiment shows that these attention-based approach can find goal events at a high precision. Moreover, results of MAR-based highlight detection on the final game of FIFA 2002 and …

A Window to the Mind: Validation of a New Method to Measure Thought Dynamics Using Brain Network Meta-State Transitions
… related to the progression of meaning across events within movie stimuli. Meta-state transitions also shared many characteristics across movie and resting fMRI data, including concurrence with activation of brain regions associated with spontaneous thought, suppression by engagement of …
