Abstract

The structure of event knowledge plays a critical role in prediction, reconstruction of memory for personal events, construction of possible future events, action, language usage, and social interactions. Despite numerous theoretical proposals such as scripts, schemas, and stories, the highly variable and rich nature of events and event knowledge have been formidable barriers to characterizing the structure of event knowledge in memory. We used network science to provide insights into the temporal structure of common events. Based on participants' production and ordering of the activities that make up events, we established empirical profiles for 80 common events to characterize the temporal structure of activities. We used the event networks to investigate multiple issues regarding the variability in the richness and complexity of people's knowledge of common events, including: the temporal structure of events; event prototypes that might emerge from learning across many experiential instances and be expressed by people; the degree to which scenes (communities) are present in various events; the degree to which people believe certain activities are central to an event; how centrality might be distributed across an event's activities; and similarities among events in terms of their content and their temporal structure. Thus, we provide novel insights into human event knowledge, and describe 18 predictions for future human studies.

利用网络科学深入了解事件知识的结构。
事件知识的结构在预测、重建个人事件记忆、构建未来可能发生的事件、行动、语言使用和社会交往中起着至关重要的作用。尽管有脚本、图式和故事等众多理论建议,但事件和事件知识的多变性和丰富性一直是描述记忆中事件知识结构的巨大障碍。我们利用网络科学来深入了解常见事件的时间结构。根据参与者对构成事件的活动的制作和排序,我们为 80 个常见事件建立了经验档案,以描述活动的时间结构。我们利用事件网络研究了有关人们对常见事件的知识的丰富性和复杂性的变化的多个问题,包括:事件的时间结构;可能从许多经验实例的学习中产生并由人们表达的事件原型;场景(社区)在各种事件中的存在程度;人们认为某些活动是事件的中心的程度;中心性如何在事件的活动中分布;以及事件在内容和时间结构方面的相似性。因此,我们提供了对人类事件知识的新见解,并描述了对未来人类研究的 18 项预测。

期刊介绍: Cognition is an international journal that publishes theoretical and experimental papers on the study of the mind. It covers a wide variety of subjects concerning all the different aspects of cognition, ranging from biological and experimental studies to formal analysis. Contributions from the fields of psychology, neuroscience, linguistics, computer science, mathematics, ethology and philosophy are welcome in this journal provided that they have some bearing on the functioning of the mind. In addition, the journal serves as a forum for discussion of social and political aspects of cognitive science.
