This experiment measures audience member’s response to visual transitions (direct cuts, dissolves, and fades) across temporally discontinuous material to see if differences in orienting response occur. Heart rate (ECG) and skin conductance (EDA) data were collected and analyzed for evidence of orienting responses. Viewers were also asked to report perceptions of scene importance to the narrative. Dissolves intensify viewer orienting response while fades did not elicit an orienting response. The strength of orienting response also lessened viewer’s perception of scene importance for old information (before the transition). 2011-09-26 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1312222237 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1312222237 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
