All evaluation scales (with the exception of slow/fast)summed for overall positive-negative index.
8. Measures of memory:
Three multiple-choice memory questions were asked for each ofthe six message segments. All memory questions (18) were thensummed into an overall memory index for all information.
9. Measures of detection ability:
Two different types of questions asked viewers whetherthey noticed problems with audio-video synchronization:
Question 1: "Do you have any comments about the segmentsthat you just viewed?" (No mention of possible synchronizationproblems.)
Question 2: "Please indicate in which of the segments you thoughtthat the timing between audio and video may have been off. "
Viewers who mentioned synchronization problems voluntarilyconstituted a third level of detection.
Summary of Results:
1. When audio precedes video by 5 video fields, viewers evaluatepeople on television more negatively (e.g. less interesting, moreunpleasant, less influential, more agitated, less successful). Thisdifference is not large, but it is statistically significant. (Figures 1and 2)
2. Audio-video asynchrony has no effect on viewer's memory for audioinformation. (Figure 3)
3. Viewers can accurately tell when a television segment is in perfectsynch, and when it is 5 fields out of synch. Viewers
