Yes, I got a B.A. in Film Studies from the University of California at Berkeley. In 1978 taking a beginning class on film history I read of the "Kuleshov Effect" http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/Kuleshov%20Experiment this 1918 discovery was remarkable for film editing at that time. It's funny that poeple still refer to this pre-1920 discovery as something remarkable and relevant. Gestalt psychology beginning in the 1930's studying vision and decision making and now cognitive psychology have gone beyond this basic knowledge of image association to show in cognitive assocation happens naturally in the mind based on available information. The mind infers the best assocations based on sensory data available -- visual, aural, olafactory, and/or tactile. This capability is not unique to film or hypertext. -- Enric ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Get fast access to your favorite Yahoo! Groups.
