Attentional Synchrony in Films: A Window to Visuospatial Characterization of Events

Dies ist die aktuellste Version dieses Eintrags.

Kurzfassung

The study of event perception emphasizes the importance of visuospatial attributes in everyday human activities and how they influence event segmentation, prediction and retrieval. Attending to these visuospatial attributes is the first step toward event understanding, and therefore correlating attentional measures to such attributes would help to further our understanding of event comprehension. In this study, we focus on attentional synchrony amongst other attentional measures and analyze select film scenes through the lens of a visuospatial event model. Here we present the first results of an in-depth multimodal (such as head-turn, hand-action etc.) visuospatial analysis of 10 movie scenes correlated with visual attention (eye-tracking 32 participants per scene). With the results, we tease apart event segments of high and low attentional synchrony and describe the distribution of attention in relation to the visuospatial features. This analysis gives us an indirect measure of attentional saliency for a scene with a particular visuospatial complexity, ultimately directing the attentional selection of the observers in a given context.
