The speed at which a single object can be detected in a real-world scene was reduced when the scene was jumbled compared to when it was coherent. Jumbling was most disruptive when the target object was not in the scene but had a high probability of occurring in that kind of scene. These results are discussed in terms of the possible role played by schemas in the processing of information from real-world scenes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
