Significance The degree to which we are engaged in narratives fluctuates over time. What drives these changes in engagement, and how do they affect what we remember? Behavioral studies showed that people experienced similar fluctuations in engagement during a television show or an audio-narrated story and were more engaged during emotional moments. Functional MRI experiments revealed that changes in a pattern of functional brain connectivity predicted changes in narrative engagement. This predictive brain network not only was related to a validated neuromarker of sustained attention but also predicted what narrative events people recalled after the MRI scan. Overall, this study empirically characterizes engagement as emotion-laden attention and reveals system-level dynamics underlying real-world attention and memory.
