Smith CHSMITH Dept: Audio Visual Services Tel No: (814) 863-3104 TO: Remote RSCS/NJE Network User ( _BITNET%SCREEN-L@UA1VM ) Subject: Viewing differences I've read through some of Curt Sampson's recent messages/conversations about television viewing habits, and I've got similiar ideas and questions on the topic. For example, has anything been written about the differences in comprehension when viewing an uninterrupted film in a movie theater and viewing the same film in the comfort of your own living room (and subject to any number of local disturbances)? I'd be interested in that type of study. Corinne Smith, Media Resources Coordinator, Penn State University <CHSMITH@PSUCES1> (800) 826-0132 FAX: (814) 863-2574
