Watching TV/movies is definitely something that we learn to do, though most of us learned so early that we no longer remember it.
Source: anecdotal evidence from friends/relatives who observed childrens' reactions when first exposed to TV/movies when they were relatively old.
- scott_s 12y agoThe article mentions an experiment where they showed short movies with local actors to people in a village in Turkey who had never seen movies or television. They found that people processed the cuts with no issues.
- Florin_Andrei 12y agoYeah, it's likely that the state of the visual cortex suffers a hard reset on the cut, but we integrate our experience at a higher level (semantic, not pure visual). It's the higher level that dictates our overall response. It might be one of the reasons why we possess intelligence and awareness.
