Film/TV Books Online: Cognitivism The Reality of Illusion: An Ecological Approach to Cognitive Film Theory by Joseph D. Anderson Published by Southern Illinois University Press in 1996 "The Reality of of Illusion bucks the tide [and] may participate in shifting the direction of film studies as a whole as well as the particular direction of film psychology...[It] deals with probems of psychology and spectatorship that are absolutely central to the field of cinema studies. It comes at them from an unorthodox angle. However, that is why the book is so potentially important." Noel Carroll, University of Wisconsin-Madison (from the jacket copy)
