1. Current models of narrative comprehension, like the event-indexing model, cannot reliably predict differences in perceived duration for fantasy versus reality narratives.
2. The event-indexing model proposes that readers construct, update, and retrieve situation models to understand narratives, integrating information about time, space, causality, motivation, and characters.
3. However, when comprehending fictional events with no real-world analog, readers may rely more on the plot than on integrating temporal information into the situation model.

Quantum Computing Discovery Reveals Time Moves Forward And Backward. Time behaves differently in quantum computing models. What is true at the quantum level is true for the rest of the universe as well.Using theoretical quantum computers, the researchers found that Causal Asymmetry does not exist in quantum models. They say that what applies to a quantum computer also applies to massive objects in the universe.
Making Sense Of It All: Mapping the Current to the PastJohn Dennis
This project is about the representation of the present as an analogy to the past and differences between situations that do and don’t map well to the past.
Time :The role of agency in temporal metaphorsJohn Dennis
In this presentation, we describe metaphors and their structure, we also discuss how temporal metaphors can be used in psychological research to better understand the nature of metaphors.

How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George
It is possible to hide or invisible some fields in odoo. Commonly using “invisible” attribute in the field definition to invisible the fields. This slide will show how to make a field invisible in odoo 17.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

3. Event-Indexing Model
aka Situation Model (Zwaan & Radvansky)
• Three types of situation models
– Current, integrated and complete model
• Four types of processing
– Construction, updating, retrieval of
situation models & foregrounding of
specific situation model elements
4. How does it work?
• Info from sentences construct the
current model
• This info is integrated into a single
model - integrated model via updating
• Readers focus on different types of
information via foregrounding
• Integrated model is stored in LTM as a
complete model - may be retrieved
5. Five Dimension of Event-
Indexing Model
• Temporal
• Spatial
• Causal
• Motivational
• Person/Object
6. Focus on Time:
Situation Model
• Temporal info allows comprehender to
locate in time situations referred to in
discourse.
• But how do people get the temporal
information from the current situation
model?
7. Anderson, Garrod & Sanford
– Jenny found the film rather boring. The
projectionist had to keep changing reels. It
was supposed to be a silent classic. Ten
minutes/seven hours later the film was
forgotten. He/she was fast asleep.
8. Results
• Time shifts “outside the norm” took longer to
read and memory for character described
was less accessable.
• Anderson et al, argue that readers use world
knowledge about typical temporal length of
scenarios to judge perceived duration of
events described in scenario.
9. There is a problem
• First problem-
– What if one has not experienced a
scenario?
• Like a trip from Denver to San Fransisco by
AMTRAK
• Second problem
– What about fictional events that nobody
has experienced?
• Like a trip to the center of the Earth
10. Situation Model vs. Plot
Rapp & Gerrig
• Subjects given M time shift selected
minute-consistent outcome 89.5%
• But critically, given H time shift they
selected the minute-consistent outcome
56.2%
11. Plot Wins
Situation Model Looses
• Results demonstrated that readers
showed propensity to accept preferred
outcome despite reality-driven
constraints
• Providing evidence for plot-driven
analysis of narrative comprehension
12. Mechanisms for Differences
in Perceived Duration
• Perhaps for fantasy and reality narratives the
– Encoding or retrieval of the situation model
involves a qualitatively different process
– Unable to connect fantasy narrative to reality
– The plots are qualitatively different thereby
imparting differences in reader’s wishes or desires
Editor's Notes
For example, we can use tense to express a location in time. The tense of the verbs can indicate if the event occurred before, after or at the same time with the current time that we are speaking about.
