Break up

Hi. I didn't find any definition for "break up" that fits in the context that I am listening to. It's an interview and the woman is talking about the relation between memory and time perception. Here an excerpt from the transcription:

"There hasn't been a lot of literature investigating time perception in the dementias, but certainly the studies that have looked at this have suggested that there are definitely problems in being able to estimate the duration of events and being able to calculate time duration. And again, it's been suggested that time is perhaps perceived as being speeding up in Alzheimer's disease because there are less of these events that the individual can remember to, again, BREAK UP their daily lives."


Thank you
