Working Memory and Presence: Reconsidering the Role of Attention in Presence
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents a working memory based model of attention in presence, in which presence depends on the allocation of cognitive resources to process an environment. In the model, media decoders (cognitive modules specialized in decoding particular media) extract data about the environment in an abstracted form. In order for presence to occur, a certain amount of working memory is required for processing this abstracted data. However, as the extraction process itself requires working memory, the media can have a large impact on the presence experience. To demonstrate its usefulness, the model is used to explain Biocca’s book and reality problems. To conclude, a load-based methodology for testing the model is proposed.
