Summary:The author revisits the question of the effects of televised fiction from a cognitivist perspective. The question is laid out in terms of a complex interaction between fiction and viewers rather than a mere process of causality. To capture and hold the viewers’ attention, television has developed a specific writing mode, an actual TV rhetoric that gives to see those significant elements that the viewer will come to perceive and accept.

She shows how a communication code can transform itself into a cognitive tool for thinking.
