This paper presents a pilot study aimed at investigating the comprehension of pantomimic
stories and its possible cognitive underpinnings in typically developing children. A group of …

Event segmentation is a spontaneous part of perception, important for processing
continuous information and organizing it into memory. Although neural and behavioral event …

The plot of a narrative is represented in the form of event models in working memory.
Because only parts of the plot are actually presented and information is continually …

The language network, comprised of brain regions in the left frontal and temporal cortex,
responds robustly and reliably during language comprehension but shows little or no …

People spontaneously segment continuous ongoing actions into sequences of events. Prior
research found that gaze similarity and pupil dilation increase at event boundaries and that …

Understanding visual narratives requires readers to track dimensions of time, spatial
location, and characters across a sequence. Previous work has found situational changes …

The ability to reconstruct a missing event to create a coherent interpretation–bridging
inference–is central to understanding both real-world events and visual narratives like …

Linguistic syntax has often been claimed as uniquely complex due to features like anaphoric
relations and distance dependencies. However, visual narratives of sequential images, like …

Remembering past events usually takes less time than their actual duration—their unfolding
is temporally compressed in episodic memory. The rate of temporal compression (ie, the …

Research in verbal and visual narratives has often emphasized backward-looking
inferences, where absent information is subsequently inferred. However, comics use …
