Experimental audio description as a means of enhancing the cinematic experience of sighted viewers
The article reports on a study aimed at assessing the benefits of experimental AD for sighted persons. The study involved sighted participants in two experimental groups, the AD and the control one, who were asked to watch a movie clip with or without experimental audio description (AD) and fill in a questionnaire concerning the cognitive (e.g. memory retention) and experiential (e.g. emotional engagement) assessment. In addition, the AD group wa…
Co-creation and regional adaptation of a resilience-based universal whole-school program in five European regions
The co-creation of educational services that promote youth resilience and mental health is still scarce. UPRIGHT (Universal Preventive Resilience Intervention Globally implemented in schools to improve and promote mental Health for Teenagers) is a research and intervention program in the Basque Country (Spain), Trentino (Italy), Low Silesia (Poland), Denmark and Reykjavik (Iceland). UPRIGHT implemented a co-creation research process whose results…
A homogenous or heterogeneous audience? Audio description preferences of persons with congenital blindness, non-congenital blindness and low vision
Audio description (AD) is a type of translation involving the transfer of images into words, whose primary target audience are persons with sight loss. However, in reality audio description users are a heterogeneous group with various dysfunctions ranging from congenital blindness to low vision. These users might differ in their preferences for audio description. In order to investigate this issue, we designed an AD reception study in which we co…
Development and validation of the theory-driven School Resilience Scale for Adults
Resilience is the ability of an individual or community to adapt to life challenges or adversities while maintaining mental health and well-being. In the multi-systemic resilience paradigm, human development and resilience is embedded in adaptive systems and in their interactions. Although the relationship between school systems and adolescents' mental wellbeing is established, there is no agreement on how to recognize and evaluate the most relev…

Researching preferences of audio description users — Limitations and solutions
Reception studies are frequently used in audio description research to elicit preferences of the visually impaired about certain aspects and level of acceptance of various solutions. However, this research method is characterised by limitations, which are discussed in this article as regards the participants and the design of reception studies. We then present a study which we think has been successful in overcoming some of these limitations, con…
Towards common European audio description guidelines
This article reports on the Pear Tree Project (PTP) conducted as part of the DTV4All project, whose original aim was to develop audio description (AD) guidelines in Europe, in order to ensure consistent high quality AD. However, before streamlining AD standards, a number of issues had to be addressed, the most essential being whether relevant cross-linguistic and cross-cultural differences in Europe are insignificant enough to enable the developm…
Pear Stories and Audio Description
In the mid-1970s, professor Wallace Chafe, a specialist in Native American languages at the University of California, Berkeley, set up an experiment to test the reception of a visual story in diffe
