What This Tool Measures
Scores how completely the script transports its audience: immersion (Green & Brock), predicted neural synchrony (ISC), causal tightness, and imagery concreteness — plus the scenes where immersion is likely to break.
Methodology
- Score transportation from attentional pull, imagery, and emotional involvement.
- Estimate inter-subject correlation: how similarly different audience members would track this story.
- Rate causal linearity (scene-to-scene cause and effect) and visual specificity.
- Flag attention risks — scenes where the reader is likely to surface from the story.
Key Terms
- Transportation
- The state of being “lost in a story” — attention, imagery, and feeling converge inside the narrative world (Green & Brock).
- Inter-subject correlation (ISC)
- How similarly different viewers’ brains respond to the same film. Tightly controlled narratives synchronize audiences; loose ones let each mind wander its own way (Hasson).
- Causal linearity
- How tightly each scene is caused by the one before it. “And then” chains score low; “therefore / but” chains score high.
- Imagery fluency
- How easily the prose produces mental pictures; concrete sensory language transports, abstraction keeps readers outside.
