Animation & the Mind
Offloading mental “busywork”
inbetweening: extrapolating states between two frames
Scott E. Hudson and John T. Stasko (1993)
“By offloading interpretation of changes to
the perceptual system, animation allows the
user to continue thinking about the task
domain, with no need to shift contexts to the
interface domain. By eliminating sudden
visual changes, animation lessens the
chance that the user is surprised.”
