This article shows the relevance of a model non-subsumptive understanding for theorising memory as mode sense-making that can contribute to other in ethically sustainable ways. It develops theory and narrative empathy. While is often seen form appropriation, assimilation, subsumption singular under general, hermeneutic approach suggests there are also non-subsumptive, non-appropriative, dialogi...

This study explored Mandarin-speaking children’s ability in maintaining narrative coherence. Thirty Mandarin-speaking fiveyear-olds, 30 nine-year-olds and 30 adults participated. The narrative data were elicited using Frog, where are you? Narrative coherence was assessed in terms of causal networks. The results displayed children’s development in achieving narrative coherence by establishing ca...

Automatic cinematic generation for virtual environments and games has shown to be capable of generating general purpose cinematics. There is initial work that approaches cinematic generation from the perspective of narrative instead of low level camera manipulation. In our work, we further extend this idea to take into consideration a model of user memory. Models of reader comprehension and mem...

Perceived racism contributes to persistent health stress leading to health disparities. African American/Black persons (BPs) believe subtle, rather than overt, interpersonal racism is increasing. Sue and colleagues describe interpersonal racism as racial microaggressions: "routine" marginalizing indignities by White persons (WPs) toward BPs that contribute to health stress. In this narrative, e...

BACKGROUND/STUDY CONTEXT A common goal during speech comprehension is to remember what we have heard. Encoding speech into long-term memory frequently requires processes such as verbal working memory that may also be involved in processing degraded speech. Here the authors tested whether young and older adult listeners' memory for short stories was worse when the stories were acoustically degra...

Autobiographical memory is a uniquely human form of memory that integrates individual experiences of self with cultural frames for understanding identities and lives. In this review, we present a theoretical and empirical overview of the sociocultural development of autobiographical memory, detailing the emergence of autobiographical memory during the preschool years and the formation of a life...

Data-driven techniques for interactive narrative generation are the subject of growing interest. Reinforcement learning (RL) offers significant potential for devising data-driven interactive narrative generators that tailor players’ story experiences by inducing policies from player interaction logs. A key open question in RL-based interactive narrative generation is how to model complex player...
