In this study, Federico Alvarez Igarzábal investigates the formal aspects of video games that determine how these changes are produced and sequenced. Theories of time perception drawn from the cognitive sciences lay the groundwork for an in-depth analysis of these features, making for a comprehensive account of time in this novel medium. This book-length study dedicated to time perception and video games is an indispensable resource for game scholars and game developers alike. Its reader-friendly style makes it readily accessible to the interested layperson. 410 0$aStudies of digital media culture ;$vVolume 9. 517 2 $aAlvarez Igarzábal, Time and Space in Video$eA Cognitive-Formalist Approach 606 $aComputer 606 $aGames 606 $aTime 606 $aVideo Games 606 $aSequencing 606 $aSpace 606 $aAesthetics 606 $aCognitive Science 606 $aTime Perception 606 $aMedia 606 $aPopular Culture 606 $aComputer Games 606 $aMedia Aesthetics 606 $aDigital Media 606 $aMedia Studies 610 00$aSpace$aCognitive Science$aMedia$aTime$aTime Perception$aComputer Games$aMedia Studies$aVideo Games$aDigital Media$aGames$aMedia Aesthetics$aComputer$aPopular Culture$aAesthetics$aSequencing 615 4$aComputer 615 4$aGames 615 4$aTime 615 4$aVideo Games 615 4$aSequencing 615 4$aSpace 615 4$aAesthetics 615 4$aCognitive Science 615 4$aTime Perception 615 4$aMedia 615 4$aPopular Culture 615 4$aComputer Games 615 4$aMedia Aesthetics 615 4$aDigital Media 615 4$aMedia Studies 676 $a794.8 686 $aAP 15963$2rvk 700 $aAlvarez Igarzábal$b Federico$p
