How well can we measure event segmentation? In a new paper published in Behavioral Research Methods, Sasmita and Swallow evaluate the reliability of event segmentation measures across groups of different sizes, and when they perform the task in the lab and online. Results show that a surprisingly small number of participants are needed to distinguish real data from random data, and that this is true for data collected online as well as in the lab. This paper increases confidence in the utility and reliability of the event segmentation task, and provides a valuable resource for anyone interested in using it to study naturalistic perception, memory, and attention.
