The spatial layout of doorways and environmental boundaries shape the content of event memories
Physical boundaries in our environment have been observed to define separate events in episodic memory. To date, however, there is little evidence that the spatial properties of boundaries exert any control over event memories. To examine this possibility, we conducted four experiments that took manipulations involving boundaries that have been demonstrated to influence spatial representations, and adapted them for use in an episodic object memor…
Colonial extractivism and development
In this paper we investigate the specific mechanisms of British financial influence in the Cape Colony during the diamond mining boom of the late nineteenth century.We do so by offering a detailed exposition of the uneasy marriage between the colonial state and private business sector in the context of the economics and dynamics of extractivism in the periphery.This allows us to encapsulate the dilemmas of attracting foreign investment whilst mai…
Walking through doorways differentially affects recall and familiarity
Previous research has reported that walking through a doorway to a new location makes memory for objects and events experienced in the previous location less accurate. This effect, termed the location updating effect, has been used to suggest that location changes are used to mark boundaries between events in memory: memories for objects encountered within the current event are more available than those from beyond an event boundary. Within a com…
