Context reinstatement is the process by which we incorporate thoughts from our past into our current mental state. This chapter is concerned with characterizing the cognitive and neuropsychological underpinnings of context reinstatement. Modern theories of context reinstatement are inextricably tied to theories of how we process and perceive the present. The primary goal of this chapter is to present a conceptual framework for characterizing how experiences unfold in time, and how our mental states at each moment relate to our experiences. This framework allows us to compare, contrast, and test different theories of context reinstatement. A second component of this chapter is concerned with two fundamental properties of how our experiences unfold, and how we perceive and remember them: scale invariance and event segmentation. The chapter concludes with a reflection on the proposed role of context reinstatement in facilitating a range of important memory-related cognitive functions.

How do we encode our continuous life experiences for later retrieval? Theories of event segmentation and integration suggest that the hippocampus binds separately represented events into an ordered narrative. Using an open-access functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) movie watching-recall dataset, we quantified two types of neural similarities (i.e., activation pattern similarity and within-region voxel-based connectivity pattern similarity) between separate events during movie watching and related them to subsequent retrieval of events as well as retrieval of sequential order. We demonstrate that distinct activation patterns of the hippocampus and medial prefrontal cortex form event memories. By contrast, similar within-region connectivity patterns between events facilitate memory formation and are relevant for the retention of events in the correct sequential order. We applied the same approaches to an independent movie watching fMRI dataset and replicational analyses highlighted again the role of hippocampal activation pattern and connectivity pattern in memory formation. We propose that distinct activation patterns represent neural segmentation of events while similar connectivity patterns encode context information, and therefore integrate events into a narrative. Our results provide novel evidence for the role of hippocampal-medial prefrontal event segmentation and integration in episodic memory formation of real-life experience.

AbstractWhitehouse adapts insights from evolutionary anthropology to interpret extreme self-sacrifice through the concept of identity fusion. The model neglects the role of normative systems in shaping behaviors, especially in relation to violent extremism. In peaceful groups, increasing fusion will actually decrease extremism. Groups collectively appraise threats and opportunities, actively debate action options, and rarely choose violence toward self or others.

AbstractIntuitions guide decision-making, and looking to the evolutionary history of humans illuminates why some behavioral responses are more intuitive than others. Yet a place remains for cognitive processes to second-guess intuitive responses – that is, to be reflective – and individual differences abound in automatic, intuitive processing as well.
