Contextual shifts are crucial for episodic memory, setting event boundaries during event segmentation. While lab research provides insights, it often lacks the complexity of real-world experiences. We addressed this gap by examining perceptual and conceptual boundaries using virtual reality (VR). Participants acted as salespeople, interacting with…

Corinna West; Noah Weeth Feinstein – International Journal of Science Education, Part B: Communication and Public Engagement, 2025
There is an international trend towards fun, irreverent, and social events that feature scientific themes and content.
