Abstract
Hvordan reflekterer mennesker over fortiden og forudser fremtiden, mens de følger en fortælling? Dette studie undersøger disse kognitive processer—hindsight (at se tilbage) og foresight (at se frem)—og om de kan observeres via psyko-fysiologiske signaler, specifikt pupiludvidelse (ændringer i pupilstørrelse). Vi gennemgår forskning fra kognitionsvidenskab og narratologi og introducerer Hindsight/Foresight Feedback-loopet, en ramme der beskriver, hvordan hindsight og foresight interagerer med hukommelse. Vi undersøger derefter denne ramme i en interaktiv fortælling i virtual reality og måler pupiludvidelse for at opdage dens aktivitet. I interviews pegede deltagerne på øjeblikke i historien, som de fandt særligt vigtige, og ved disse punkter så vi en tendens til stigende pupiludvidelse over tid. Fundene tyder på, at feedback-loopet kan spores via pupiludvidelse, men fordi dette er et pilot- og eksplorativt studie, kræves yderligere test for at bekræfte resultaterne.
How do people reflect on the past and anticipate the future while following a story? This study examines these cognitive processes—hindsight (looking back) and foresight (looking ahead)—and whether they can be observed through psycho-physiological signals, specifically pupil dilation (changes in pupil size). We review research from cognitive science and narratology and introduce the Hindsight/Foresight Feedback-loop, a framework describing how hindsight and foresight interact with memory. We then explore this framework in an interactive narrative in virtual reality, measuring pupil dilation to detect its activity. In interviews, participants pointed out moments in the story they found especially important, and at those points we observed a tendency for pupil dilation to increase over time. These findings suggest it may be possible to track the Feedback-loop through pupil dilation, but because this is a pilot and exploratory study, further testing is needed to confirm the results.
