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

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 …

Life's events are scattered throughout time, yet we often recall different events in the context
of an integrated narrative. Prior research suggests that the hippocampus, which supports …

Although the stream of information we encounter is continuous, our experiences tend to be
discretized into meaningful clusters, altering how we represent our past. Event segmentation …

In memory, our continuous experiences are broken up into discrete events. Boundaries
between events are known to influence the temporal organization of memory. However, how …

Surprise signals a discrepancy between past and current beliefs. It is theorized to be linked
to affective experiences, the creation of particularly resilient memories, and segmentation of …

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 …

The capacity to search memory for events learned in a particular context stands as one of
the most remarkable feats of the human brain. How is memory search accomplished? First, I …

We remember when things change. Particularly salient are experiences where there is a
change in rewards, eliciting reward prediction errors (RPEs). How do RPEs influence our …

The N400 event-related component has been widely used to investigate the neural
mechanisms underlying real-time language comprehension. However, despite decades of …
