We conducted preregistered replications of 28 classic and contemporary published findings, with protocols that were peer reviewed in advance, to examine variation effect magnitudes across samples settings. Each protocol was administered approximately half 125 comprised 15,305 participants from 36 countries territories. Using the conventional criterion statistical significance ( p < .05), we found 15 (54%) provided evidence a statistically significant same direction as original finding....
According to film mythology, the Soviet filmmaker Lev Kuleshov conducted an experiment in which he combined a close-up of actor's neutral face with three different emotional contexts: happiness, sadness, and hunger. The viewers sequences reportedly perceived as expressing emotion congruent given context. It is not clear, however, whether or so-called "Kuleshov effect" really exists. original footage lost recent attempts at replication have produced either conflicting unreliable results....
In Europe, Scandinavia holds the largest concentration of rock art (i.e. petroglyphs), created c. 5000–first century bc , many them showing figurative and seemingly narrative representations. this paper, we will discuss possible narratological approaches applied to these images. We might reasonably distinguish between three levels pictorial narrativity: representations (i) single events, understood as transition from one state affairs another, usually involving (groups of) agents...
This study aims to shed new light on the petroglyphs found at site of Aspeberget 12 World Heritage Tanum, Sweden, from a semiotic perspective. We demonstrate semiotics power inherent in arrangement petroglyphs. start by describing an archaeological way, order give overview empirical material used this case study. Against backdrop overview, we introduce our analytical tools with reference cartosemiotics, cultural and, Charles Sanders Peirce’s theory signs. suggest, tentative conclusion, that...
Ambiguous figures, as described in visual perceptual psychology, are single pictures that contain several possible, mutually exclusive, motifs. When looking at a rock-art panel, petroglyphs first glance can seem to be distributed randomly, but when physically moving around on the panel new patterns start emerge. We discovered some figures seemed represent two different motifs depending from which angle they were observed. The thus became ambiguous. Some specific cases of images South...
This paper discusses rock art in southern Scandinavia as a multisensory format, where both sight and touch would have contributed to the comprehension of images. From structural semiotic point view, we suggest that can be construed an organised set features, such visual tactile elements, into heterogeneous unities with dynamic relations between elements change over time respect how they are experienced. We argue order understand medium, it is crucial take consideration interaction perceiver...
Abstract This essay begins with a brief account of the French linguistic structuralism and very briefly some aspects post-structuralist critique it, here represented by Lacan and, Deleuze, Guattari as response to it. Against this backdrop, purpose is show that came earlier than one, namely Russian philosopher dialogic speech literary scholar Mikhail Bakhtin in 1920s. The concept dialogical word has had major influence cultural semiotics, – film studies existential psychotherapy. A second...
Abstract The final session of the two-day long Workshop on Film Music and Experimental Methods. How does Mean? took form a round table discussion. exchange views circled around question how experimental psychology might help to explain what film it conveys meaning.
Researchers have long discussed whether Scandinavian rock art reflects narratives. Their interpretations frequently been based on inspections of panels combined with knowledge from ethnographic and historical sources. Here, the authors adopt a more focused narratological approach that takes concept (visual) narrativity into consideration draws studies by literary analysts, cognitive psychologists, semioticians. Images spear use in provinces Bohuslän Östergötland Sweden, given their diversity...
Le but de cet essai est discuter et d'illustrer les relations entre la vie narrations sur base recherches faites en sémiotique psychologie, inspirées d'abord, M.M.

Whereas proxemics appears as a rhetoric of the bodies, Tartu school offers cultures; it is deviation that produces meaning. (Sonesson 1995: 71; my translation)
Summary The idea to create pictorial narratives seems have occurred long after humans learned produce iconic images, that is, depictions based on visual similarity external objects. In Scandinavia, e.g. in Gärde, Sweden or Stykket and Bøla, Norway, early Mesolithic images (e.g. rock carvings from before c.5000 BCE) often feature animals are solitary without suggestion of causal narrative relations other figures, although they sometimes grouped by proximity superimposed each other. Notable is...
