Ch 11. Event Cognition Seminar on Event Cognition 이상우

Summary of Event Cognition • Event Cognition is Fundamental and Pervasive – Perception, Language, Memory, Reasoning and Decision- making • Event Cognition has a Long Past – Gunnar Johansson: work on biological motion – James J. Gibson, ecological psychology – Darren Newtson: work on event segmentation – Sahcs: work on sentence memory – Chomsky: transformational grammar – Maier: work on problem-solving

Application on Education • Many educational situations require teachers to convey to students information about events • Structuring the presentation in terms of spatiotemporal frameworks of event cognition may produce better learning

Application on Virtual Environments • Event cognition provides a means of understanding how we experience the continuous flow of experience in virtual environments as real • Few principles – Environmental details near event boundaries are likely to be better remembered – Increasing the number of event boundaries can be improve later memory – Information that was acquired outside of the current event will be less easily accessed in memory

Application on Forecasting • By “forecasting,” we mean the prediction or expectation of about how events will unfold in the future • Knowledge on event cognition makes better prediction on future
