Systems and methods are described herein for causing to be provided reminders during consumption of a content item. The system detects subjects and the associations among them that are referenced in the content item and generates metadata with information about the associations. The metadata is used to determine, during later content item consumption, if at least one criterion for providing a reminder of the association is satisfied. For example, a criterion that at least two months must pass before a reminder is given regarding the relationship between characters in a video game is satisfied when a video game player has not been shown information about the relationship in three months. Accordingly, the system causes to be displayed the reminder of the association when the at least criterion is satisfied.
