Memory-guided predictions can improve event comprehension by guiding attention and the eyes to the location where an actor is about to perform an action. But when events change, viewers may experience predictive-looking errors and need to update their memories. In two experiments (s = 38 and 98), we examined the consequences of mnemonic predictive-looking errors for comprehending and remembering event changes. University students watched movies of everyday activities with actions that were repeated exactly and actions that were repeated with changed features-for example, an actor reached for a paper towel on one occasion and a dish towel on the next. Memory guidance led to predictive-looking errors that were associated with better memory for subsequently changed event features. These results indicate that retrieving recent event features can guide predictions during unfolding events and that error signals derived from mismatches between mnemonic predictions and actual events contribute to new learning.
记忆引导的预测可以通过引导注意力和眼睛到演员即将执行动作的位置来改善事件理解。但是,当事件发生变化时,观众可能会经历预测性的错误,并需要更新他们的记忆。在两个实验(s = 38 和 98)中,我们研究了记忆预测性错误对理解和记住事件变化的后果。大学生观看了日常生活活动的电影,其中一些动作是重复的,而另一些动作则具有变化的特征,例如,演员在一次伸手去拿纸巾,而在下一次则伸手去拿抹布。记忆引导导致了预测性的错误,这些错误与随后改变的事件特征的更好记忆相关。这些结果表明,检索最近的事件特征可以在展开的事件中引导预测,并且源自记忆预测与实际事件之间不匹配的错误信号有助于新的学习。
