Mental representations of everyday experience are rich, structured, and multimodal. In this article we consider the adaptive pressures that led to human construction of such representations, arguing that structured event representations enable cognitive systems to more effectively predict the trajectory of naturalistic everyday activity. We propose an account of how cortical systems and the hippocampus (HPC) interact to construct, maintain, and update event representations. This analysis throws light on recent research on story comprehension, event segmentation, episodic memory, and action planning. It also suggests how the growing science base can be deployed to diagnose impairments in event perception and memory, and to improve memory for everyday events.

构建经验：从感知到行动的事件模型

日常经验的心理表征是丰富的、结构化的和多模态的。在本文中，我们考虑了导致人类构建此类表征的适应性压力，认为结构化事件表征使认知系统能够更有效地预测自然主义日常活动的轨迹。我们提出了一个关于皮层系统和海马体 (HPC) 如何相互作用以构建、维护和更新事件表示的说明。这一分析揭示了最近关于故事理解、事件分割、情景记忆和行动计划的研究。它还建议如何部署不断增长的科学基础来诊断事件感知和记忆的障碍，并改善对日常事件的记忆。
