Working memory (WM) is suggested to play a key role in this process, but how? https://osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/yvta4_v131 Dec 2025 14:41 +0000at://did:plc:fkbyhdxr73kjgmkufdcbpgxe/app.bsky.feed.post/3mbc3wjfkns2vhttps://bsky.app/profile/bernaguler.bsky.social/post/3ma6a4m3a7s27Happy to share that I’ll be an Editorial Fellow for Journal of Experimental Psychology: General in 2026, working with Sarah Brown-Schmidt on the journal’s editorial process.

The common view suggests that prediction errors drive them—but is that true? We show that contextual stability, not prediction errors, is the key driver of segmentation. https://link.springer.com/article/10.3758/s13423-025-02723-4?utm_source=rct_congratemailt&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=oa_20250626&utm_content=10.3758/s13423-025-02723-427 Jun 2025 15:04 +0000at://did:plc:fkbyhdxr73kjgmkufdcbpgxe/app.bsky.feed.post/3lslvz5insc2zhttps://bsky.app/profile/bernaguler.bsky.social/post/3lrslwksoe22sIt is so moving to see my colleagues raising their voice and awareness.

We tested roles of contextual stability and prediction error in event segmentation, independently manipulating each factor in 4 experiments. We found contextual stability as the primary driver - challenging the event segmentation theory https://osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/jgq64_v203 Apr 2025 01:18 +0000at://did:plc:fkbyhdxr73kjgmkufdcbpgxe/app.bsky.feed.post/3lluqa5eynk2whttps://bsky.app/profile/bernaguler.bsky.social/post/3lkkqeccw3s2dHonored to receive the scientific travel grant from Bilim Akademisi!
