“…This might be especially true if the photograph displays content that is interesting but not relevant for understanding the storyline, as it guides individuals' selective attention away from the main content and confuses their expectation what the story is actually about (Harp & Mayer, 1998; see also Lang, 1995). Recent experimental research corroborates this view, showing that 360-degree technology experienced on a laptop is rather distracting from than supporting a story (Van Damme, All, De Marez, & Van Leuven, 2018), demanding considerable cognitive costs (Sundar, Kang, & Oprean, 2017). The limited capacity model, however, also states that complex stimuli can increase memory for story content by causing an orienting response in news consumers that automatically shifts their attention to the stimulus and elicits additional cognitive resources to the encoding and storing of information (Lang, Bradley, Park, Shin, & Chung, 2006;Lang, Bolls, Potter, & Kawahara, 1999).…”
