Abstract

When a movie has different interpretations, it is likely that people form different mental models depending on their interpretation. Participants watched the movie Inception and then rated their agreement with different interpretations. Their similarity ratings of the main characters were submitted to MDS analysis. Different interpretations had different MDS patterns.
