Although only one study examined event-cued prospective memory proper in natural settings, its results suggest that naturalistic event-cued prospective memory proper may decline the same way as event-cued prospective memory proper assessed in the laboratory (see Figure 8d).
Only a handful of studies have examined inattentional blindness beyond the laboratory, and even fewer have examined noticing of task-relevant, naturalistic unexpected events that involve direct risks to and consequences for the attentively blinded.
Such a model may better generalize to naturalistic prospective events that occur in everyday life.
In research projects they can allow investigators to capture estimates of BACs resulting from naturalistic drinking events.
Future studies could prospectively test the prediction that people with bipolar disorder will be more prone to intrusive reexperiencing in response to naturalistic traumatic events (such as disasters) versus control groups.
In naturalistic activity, effective event boundaries tend to correspond to points in time when many features of the situation are changing (Newtson, Engquist, & Bois, 1977; Zacks, Kumar, Abrams, & Mehta, 2009; Zacks, Speer, & Reynolds, 2009).
It can, however, be argued that the use of repeated events induce expectancies and anticipatory behaviour that may undermine validity in terms of generalisability to real-world, naturalistic, emergency braking events.
While such techniques may be helpful for tasks such as memorizing a shopping list or learning the names of new acquaintances, they offer limited opportunity to improve one's ability to remember a complex naturalistic sequence of events.
It is difficult to assess how closely these protocols mimic naturalistic synaptic encoding events (Albensi et al. 2007).
We next probed whether the fast response times of Halo could support naturalistic sequences of hyperpolarization events, in response to trains of brief pulses of yellow light.
In M43, the task was more naturalistic and the task events somewhat less well defined (see Experimental Procedures).
