Synopsis
Exploring psychological implications in e-mail, video games, and the Internet, Van Oostendorp (information and computing sciences, Utrecht University) presents essays from professionals in a wide range of fields—psychology, computer science, sociology, education, mass communication—discussing the cognitive effects of the modern digital environment. Like the authors, the audience for this collection will be composed of students and researchers from the many disciplines seeking insight into how people learn and function in today's multimedia world. Topics include conditions and consequences of multimedia information processing, socio- psychological aspects of the web, computer-mediated collaborative communication, and education technology and multimedia from a cognitive perspective.
