The Role of Anxiety and Predictions in Segmenting Emotionally Uncertain Events

Description: 
This project explores how anxiety and predictions shape the way people break down ongoing experiences into meaningful parts, a process called event segmentation.
Past studies suggest that prediction errors, emotional changes, and individual differences can each influence this process. But real-life experiences are complex and likely involve all these factors together. Our study takes on this challenge: How do predictions, individual characteristics, and emotional uncertainty interact to shape event segmentation?
If you are curious about how the mind organizes continuous experience into memory—and how multiple factors work together in this process—join us to explore and question more!
