Scientists say they have a new explanation for how the brain breaks experiences into “events,” or the related groups that help us mentally organize the day’s many situations.
They propose that the brain may actually work from subconscious mental categories it creates based on how it considers people, objects, and actions are related.
Specifically, these details are sorted by temporal relationship, which means that the brain recognizes that they tend to—or tend not to—pop up near one another at specific times.
Their explanation challenges the dominant concept known as prediction error that says our brain draws a line between the end of one event and the start of another when things take an unexpected turn.

This new concept of “shared temporal context” works very much like the object categories our minds use to organize objects, explains Anna Schapiro, a doctoral student in Princeton’s psychology department and lead author of the study published in the journal Nature Neuroscience.
“We’re providing an account of how you come to treat a sequence of experiences as a coherent, meaningful event,” Schapiro says. “Events are like object categories. We associate robins and canaries because they share many attributes: They can fly, have feathers, and so on. These associations help us build a ‘bird’ category in our minds.
“Events are the same, except the attributes that help us form associations are temporal relationships.”
