We view this increasing inverse correlation ofmotion and shot length as an amplifying effect. That is, short shots likely increase viewer response to films and film segments, forcing observer eye movements to quickly reevaluate each new visual depiction and increasing heart rate and other bodily responses (Carruthers and Taggart 1973). Addingmoremotion to these short shots is likely to increase viewer response all the suggest that this increasing correlationmay help to couple attention to broader physiological also find it intriguing that the natural patterns of heart rate, like those of attention (Gilden 2001) and increasingly of film(Cutting et al 2010), follow a 1/f pattern (Saul et. | ELSEVIER COGNITION Cognition 76 2000 269-295 locate cognit Representation space and Hollywood Squares looking at things that aren t there anymore Daniel C.

Here we examine the use of such spatial information in memory for semantic information. Previous research has often focused on the role of task demands and the level of automaticity in the encoding of spatial location in memory tasks. We present five experiments where location is irrelevant to the task and participants encoding of spatial information is measured implicitly by their looking behavior during recall. In a paradigm developed from Spivey and Geng Spivey M. J. Geng J. 2000 . submitted for publication participants were presented with pieces of auditory semantic information as part of an event occurring in one of four regions of a computer screen. In front of a blank grid they were asked a question relating to one of those facts. Under certain conditions it was found that during the question period participants made significantly more saccades to the empty region of space where the semantic information had been previously presented. Our findings are discussed in relation to previous research on memory and spatial location the dorsal and ventral streams of the visual system and the notion of a cognitive-perceptual system using spatial .
