Abstract: Over several years of research, some basic principles of event cognition are
coming into focus. These principles involve how people slice up their experience of the
world, how they understand what they are experiencing and how easily they remember
those experiences. I will outline these basic principles and discuss several lines of
research that assess these principles. Moreover, I discuss how these differences can
sometimes be influenced by individual differences in working memory span and age.
