An effect of presentation and relational structure on recognition of visual scene

Abstract

We investigated recogniton of visual scenes consited of several items. In learning session, there were whole condition in which subjects could observe the whole scene, and item condition in which each item was presented one at a time. In recognition session, the 'New' items were divided into two classes called relevant and irelevant items. The fomer items were objects strongly associated with items learned. Results showed that FAs for the relevant items were higher in the whole condition than that in the item condition and were deteriorated when a relevant item was tested immediately after an "OLD" item.
