“…The object-context interaction seems bidirectional because objects also seem to influence context processing (Davenport & Potter, 2004;Joubert, Fize, Rousselet, & Fabre-Thorpe, 2008). Inconsistent objects do not capture gaze from an initial glimpse of a peripherally presented scene, and it seems questionable whether objects can be identified without attention (Vo & Henderson, 2011). To our knowledge, none of the studies in this field investigated the mechanisms and time course of object and scene consistency judgments, which is our focus.…”

Rapid apprehension of the coherence of action scenes

Some information about complex naturalistic scenes, such as the scene's gist (a beach, a restaurant) or the category of an object depicted in a scene, can be extracted within a fraction of a second. The present study focused on the rapid apprehension of scene coherence in action scenes involving two actors. Coherence was manipulated by either varying global (body posture) or local (object details) actionscene properties. Scenes were presented for 20, 30, 50, or 100 ms, and subsequently masked. Viewers were able to determine scene coherence with only 30 ms presentation duration for global scene layout, but not even 100 ms sufficed for local object-action consistency. A second experiment ruled out that the difficulties in detecting local object-action consistency resulted from a strategic adaption by the participants. Overall, the results suggest that, as with scene gist, rapid extraction of coherence information from action scenes relies more on a scene's overall Gestalt than on detailed visual or even semantic representations.

“…Replicating the eye-movement patterns reported by Loftus and Mackworth (1978), however, has proven to be difficult (De Graef, Christiaens, & d'Ydewalle, 1990;Friedman, 1979;Gareze & Findlay, 2007;Henderson, Weeks, & Hollingworth, 1999;Rayner, Castelhano, & Yang, 2009;Võ & Henderson, 2009, 2011. For example, using a similar task, presented complex line drawings for 15 seconds each, also under threat of a scene recognition memory test.…”

Semantically incongruent objects attract eye gaze when viewing scenes for change

Past research has shown that change detection performance is often more efficient for target objects that are semantically incongruent with a surrounding scene context than for target objects that are semantically congruent with the scene context. One account of these findings is that attention is attracted to objects for which the identity of the object conflicts with the meaning of the scene, perhaps as a violation of expectancies created by earlier recruitment of scene gist information. An alternative account of the performance benefit for incongruent objects is that attention is more apt to linger on incongruent objects, as perhaps identifying these objects is more difficult due to conflicting information from the scene context. In the current experiment, we present natural scenes in a change detection task while monitoring eye movements. We find that eye gaze is attracted to these objects relatively early during scene processing. ARTICLE HISTORY

“…Moreover, the scene preview benefit exists even if the target object was not visible during the preview (i.e., digitally removed), but only found through windowed search, thereby confirming the benefit of scene-context processing, irrespective of any additional local target processing that could occur when targets are present in previews (Castelhano & Henderson, 2007;Võ & Henderson, 2010). The FPMW has also been used to demonstrate how semantically consistent and inconsistent objects are processed within scenes (Castelhano & Heaven 2011;Võ & Henderson, 2011), and how learned object function may guide attention aside from object features (Castelhano & Witherspoon, 2016). The ability to process the scene preview has been linked to individual differences in visual perceptual processing speed (Võ & Schneider, 2010), and the time-course of the initial representation derived from the scene preview has also been investigated.…”

How we make sense of what we see and where best to look is shaped by our experience, our current task goals and how we first perceive our environment. An established way of demonstrating these factors work together is to study how eye movement patterns change as a function of expertise and to observe how experts can solve complex tasks after only very brief glances at a domain-specific image. The primary focus of this paper is to introduce an innovative gaze-contingent method called the 'Flash-Preview Moving Window' (FPMW) paradigm (Castelhano & Henderson, 2007), which was recently developed to understand our shared expertise in scene perception and how our first glimpse of a scene is used to guide our eye movement behaviour. In keeping with this special issue on visual expertise and medicine, this paper will highlight how the FPMW paradigm has the potential to resolve long-standing theoretical issues as to how, right from the very first glance, experts are able to process domain-specific images and guide their eye movements better than novices. Since FPMW is a gaze-contingent eye-tracking method, the paper will first outline the current methodological and theoretical frontier, and how the FPMW paradigm bridges established methods used to investigate visual expertise. The paper will discuss a recent example in which the FPMW was employed to investigate medical image perception expertise for the first time (Litchfield & Donovan, 2016), and by discussing the insights and challenges this method offers, this should ultimately deepen our understanding of visual expertise.
