Scripts are mental representations of activities in memory and are thought to be organized dimensionally in a temporal dimension. We investigated the cognitive strategies during the processing of temporal order of an event sequence to gain insight into the organization of scripts. Subjects were presented with triplets of script events (A - B - C). Fifty percent of the items included sequence violations at different positions within the triplet (late: A - C - B, or early: C - A - B). Reaction times indicate that subjects use an economical strategy by comparing the relative temporal positions of event pairs (e.g., A vs. B and if necessary B vs. C) and only attend to information that is necessary. Pupil data and error rates indicate that the temporal information of the complete sequence affects the decision process even if the first event pair indicates that temporal order has been violated. Results are seen as evidence of a dimensional structure of scripts.
脚本是记忆中活动的心理表征，被认为在时间维度上是按维度组织的。我们研究了在处理事件序列的时间顺序过程中的认知策略，以深入了解脚本的组织方式。向受试者呈现脚本事件三元组（A - B - C）。其中50%的项目在三元组内的不同位置包含顺序违反情况（晚期：A - C - B，或早期：C - A - B）。反应时间表明，受试者通过比较事件对的相对时间位置（例如，A与B比较，必要时B与C比较）并仅关注必要信息来使用一种经济策略。瞳孔数据和错误率表明，即使第一个事件对表明时间顺序已被违反，完整序列的时间信息仍会影响决策过程。结果被视为脚本维度结构的证据。
