Journal/Book: New Idea Psychol. 1998; 16: The Boulevard, Langford Lane, Kidlington, Oxford OX5 1GB, England. Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd. 189-204.

Abstract: This article presents new ideas arising at the intersection of many subfields of psychology - including child, cognitive, developmental, educational, general, personality, and media psychology, - as well as education and multimedia, and leading to the creation of an innovative type of educational multimedia(1) technologies - psychoeducational multimedia technologies (PEMTs). The existing educational multimedia applications are critically examined. The nature of PEMTs, their basis, and specific traits are considered. One of the most developing multimedia areas, ''edutainment'', is in fact transformed into ''psychoedutainment''. Finally, one of the possible kinds of PEMTs - high intellectual and creative educational multimedia technologies (HICEMTs)- are discussed.
