Theoretical analysis demonstrates cognitive information processing during television viewing, highlighting structural mechanisms that govern viewer memory and media comprehension.

Key Points

To introduce and validate an information-processing framework that models how finite cognitive resources are allocated during the reception and retention of mediated messages.
Formulated a multi-component information-processing model establishing operational measures for cognitive subprocesses during mediated communication.
Applied the theoretical framework to television viewing to evaluate interactions between message structure, content, and human cognitive capacity.
Empirical evidence qualitatively supported the model's capacity to assess viewer cognitive processing and memory during television viewing.
The model characterized underlying mechanisms that integrate with existing communication theories to explain and predict mediated message retention.
