Were there any animals in the picture? What was in the middle of the scene? Was this a natural or artificial environment?
What object was here? How many chairs were there? Was this an indoor or outdoor environment?
Interesting questions • What can people perceive from a short glance? • with masking? • without masking but also without eye movements? • How does perception improve with additional processing time? • What’s different when subjects know the questions beforehand? • performance always better? • are there tasks for which there’s no difference?
Project components • Design behavioral experiment • stimuli, experimental conditions • questions posed to subjects • Perform pilot experiments on small number of subjects • Analyze results
