Journal ArticleDOI
Prediction error associated with the perceptual segmentation of naturalistic events
Jeffrey M. Zacks,Christopher A. Kurby,Christopher A. Kurby,Michelle L. Eisenberg,Nayiri Haroutunian +4 more
TL;DR: At points of unpredictability, midbrain and striatal regions associated with the phasic release of the neurotransmitter dopamine transiently increased in activity, which could provide a global updating signal, cuing other brain systems that a significant new event has begun.
Journal ArticleDOI
Event Segmentation Ability Uniquely Predicts Event Memory
Jesse Q. Sargent,Jeffrey M. Zacks,David Z. Hambrick,Rose T. Zacks,Christopher A. Kurby,Heather R. Bailey,Michelle L. Eisenberg,Taylor M. Beck +7 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that event segmentation is a basic cognitive mechanism, important for memory across the lifespan, as well as as strongly in older as in younger adults.
Journal ArticleDOI
Computer animations stimulate contagious yawning in chimpanzees
TL;DR: Understanding how chimpanzees connect with animations, to both empathize and imitate, may help to understand how humans do the same, and suggest an empathic response to animations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Event segmentation improves event memory up to one month later.
TL;DR: This study provides the first evidence that manipulating event segmentation affects memory over long delays and that individual differences inevent segmentation are related to differences in memory overLong delays.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ambient and focal visual processing of naturalistic activity.
TL;DR: A perceptual event segmentation task, in which people identified boundaries between meaningful units of activity, is used to test the hypothesis that a shift in processing mode could play a role in the formation of mental representations of the current environment.
