“…Therefore, we assume that our findings might transfer to natural environments even though we studied event completion with filmic cuts. Nonetheless, we consider it a main challenge of future research to further investigate the processes occurring during the perception of ongoing events (Huff & Papenmeier, 2017). Possible research questions include the completion of information that was missed due to attentional lapses and the completion of information missing due to perceptual constraints such as saccadic suppression (Matin, 1974).…”

Filling the gap despite full attention: the role of fast backward inferences for event completion

The comprehension of dynamic naturalistic events poses at least two challenges to the cognitive system: filtering relevant information with attention and dealing with information that was missing or missed. With four experiments, we studied the completion of missing information despite full attention. Participants watched short soccer video clips and we informed participants that we removed a critical moment of ball contact in half of the clips. We asked participants to detect whether these moments of ball contact were present or absent. In Experiment 1, participants gave their detection responses either directly during an event or delayed after an event. Although participants directed their full attention toward the critical contact moment, they were more likely to indicate seeing the missing ball contact if it was followed by a causally matching scene than if it was followed by an unrelated scene, both for the immediate and delayed responses. Thus, event completion occurs quickly. In Experiment 2, only a causally matching scene but neither a white mask nor an irrelevant scene caused the completion of missing information. This indicates that the completion of missing information is caused by backward inferences rather than predictive perception. In Experiment 3, we showed that event completion occurs directly during a trial and does not depend on expectations built up after seeing the same causality condition multiple times. In Experiment 4, we linked our findings to event cognition by asking participants to perform a natural segmentation task. We conclude that observers complete missing information during coherent events based on a fast backward inference mechanism even when directing their attention toward the missing information.

“…This work suggests that we can draw on what is known about everyday action execution to inform predictions about event segmentation and event memory performance. The process-based approach recommended by Huff and Papenmeier (2017) to understanding event segmentation deficits may help further clarify the relation between event segmentation and action execution with respect to the types of action errors a patient might be most prone to making, and to use that information to guide the implementation of environmental supports. Giovannetti (2017) proposes that event segmentation indices may be clinically relevant to earlier phases of cognitive decline, such as Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI).…”

“…These are early and exciting times for interrogating the cognitive and neural basis of event cognition, but there is so much that we do not yet know. One such example is the role of expertise (Huff & Papenmeier, 2017). To our frank surprise, research to date shows only modest effects of expertise on the locations of event boundaries (Zacks, Tversky, & Iyer, 2001).…”

“…We were intrigued by Huff and Papenmeier’s (2017) proposal to derive quantitative indices of abnormal event segmentation. They suggest an approach to scoring event segmentation akin to the process-based action assessment approach made popular by Schwartz and colleagues (Schwartz, Reed, Montgomery, Palmer, & Mayer, 1991).…”

“…Thus, this suggestion by Huff and Papenmeier (2017) to derive quantitative indices of abnormal event segmentation may not only provide a more clinically meaningful index of event processing by providing insight into the underlying processes contributing to poor event segmentation, but could also help to evaluate the extent to which event segmentation errors may be related to everyday action errors. Event segmentation scores have been shown to be related to action execution in a sample of individuals with mild AD (Bailey, Kurby, Giovannetti, & Zacks, 2013).…”
