    "abstract": "We perceive our environment by breaking it down into\nsegments known as events. Event segmentation influences\nmemory by enhancing the retention of information at\nboundaries as compared to information that is contained within\nthe boundaries of an event (the event boundary advantage).\nThis effect has been attributed to changes in attention during\nperception of events. Prior studies have demonstrated greater\nattention while perceiving event boundaries but have failed to\ndemonstrate attention as the underlying mechanism for the\nevent-boundary advantage. Two behavioral experiments were\nconducted to investigate, a) whether the event boundary\nadvantage is observed even for events that are perceived while\nperforming a concurrent task? and b) Is there a decrease in the\nboundary advantage when the concurrent task complexity is\nincreased? In both experiments, participants watched videos\nrelated to performance of daily tasks, while simultaneously\nperforming a probe detection task; either a simple dot detection\n(Experiment 1) or a go/ no-go task (Experiment 2). The probe\nwas presented either at an event boundary or at pre-defined\nnon-boundary time point and the memory for both temporal\nlocations was measured after the completion of the detection\ntask. A mixed effects logistic regression revealed an interactive\neffect for both detection accuracy and the boundary advantage;\nprobe detection at event boundaries remained unaffected\nthroughout an event irrespective of the level of the task\ncomplexity while, contrary to prediction, a boundary advantage\nin memory was also observed. But detection and memory\naccuracy for non-boundaries decreased successively for both\nlow and high secondary task complexity suggesting greater\ninterference for processing non-boundary information. These\nresults indicate that greater attention may not be the only\npredictor of better memory for event boundaries as postulated\nby Event Segmentation theory.",
