Hierarchical models of behavior and prefrontal function. (2008, background): “In particular, a renewed focus on hierarchical structure in behavior has appeared in cognitive psychology [3, 4 ], developmental psychology [5,6] ,n europsychology [7] and, perhaps most strikingly, neuroscience [8,9].”
Across the Event Horizon (2012, background): “The first principle draws from Event Segmentation Theory (Kurby & Zacks, 2008; Swallow et al., 2009).”
Discovering event structure in continuous narrative perception and memory (2016, positive): “Behavioral studies have shown that subjects can segment events into a nested hierarchy from coarse to fine timescales (Kurby and Zacks, 2008; Zacks et al., 2001b) and flexibly adjust their units of segmentation depending on their uncertainty about ongoing events (Newtson, 1973).”
AGQA: A Benchmark for Compositional Spatio-Temporal Reasoning (2021, background): “Compositional reasoning is fundamental to understanding visual events [30, 37] and has been sought after recently by a number of papers [47, 55, 57, 13, 24].”
Spatial-Temporal Transformer for Dynamic Scene Graph Generation (2021, background): “It has been studied in Cognitive Science and Neuroscience that people perceive an ongoing activity by segmenting them into consistent groups and encoding into a hierarchical part structure [30].”
A Meta-analysis of the Segmenting Effect (2019, background): “They may also be cognitively overloaded at certain points in time during the presentation and their working memory capacity exceeded, in contrast to learners receiving segmented learner-paced multimedia instructions (cf. Kurby and Zacks 2008; Schnotz and Lowe 2008; Spanjers et al. 2010).”
Action Genome: Actions As Compositions of Spatio-Temporal Scene Graphs (2019, methodology): “Furthermore, people actively encode those ongoing activities in a hierarchical part structure — a phenomenon referred to as hierarchical bias hypothesis [84] or event segmentation theory [44].”
How feeling happy during off-job activities helps successful recovery from work: A day reconstruction study (2014, background): “The DRM facilitates access to encoded episodic experiences by asking individuals about specific episodes, including start and end times, which occurred in the recent past (e.g. Kurby & Zacks, 2008).”
The temporal dynamics of how the brain structures natural scenes. (2023, unknown): “…for instance, the lateral prefrontal cortex and the anterior cingulate cortex (Baldassano et al., 2017; Hasson, Nir, Levy, Fuhrmann, & Malach, 2004; Kurby & Zacks, 2008; Magliano & Zacks, 2011; Speer, Zacks, & Reynolds, 2007, 2009; Zacks et al., 2001, 2007, 2010), the temporal neural dynamics…”
On Natural Attunement: Shared Rhythms Between the Brain and the Environment. (2023, unknown): “The mechanism that supports predictability relative to the temporal onset of upcoming events in sequential structures inherently involves aspects of episodic memory (Kurby and Zacks, 2008).”
