Keyword: Memory

Abstract: Prior knowledge is linked to fewer event segments. We showed that this is only true for experiences aligned with knowledge. When experiences violated prior knowledge, knowledgeable participants segmented more than controls (N = 54). Results reveal that knowledge can either increase or decrease segmentation, depending on its compatibility with experience.
