Sustained insensitivity to incremental scene rotation: A dissociation between explicit change detection and visual memory

Sustained change blindness to incremental scene rotation: a dissociation between explicit change detection and visual memory.

In a change detection paradigm, the global orientation of a natural scene was incrementally changed in 1 degree intervals. In Experiments 1 and 2, participants demonstrated sustained change blindness to incremental rotation, often coming to consider a significantly different scene viewpoint as an unchanged continuation of the original view. Experiment 3 showed that participants who failed to de...

Insensitivity of visual short-term memory to irrelevant visual information.

Several authors have hypothesized that visuo-spatial working memory is functionally analogous to verbal working memory. Irrelevant background speech impairs verbal short-term memory. We investigated whether irrelevant visual information has an analogous effect on visual short-term memory, using a dynamic visual noise (DVN) technique known to disrupt visual imagery (Quinn & McConnell, 1996b). Ex...

A Statistical Approach to Scene Change Detection

Scene Change Detection Based on Audio-Visual Analysis and Interaction

A scene change detection method is presented in this paper, which analyzes both auditory and visual information sources and accounts for their inter-relations and coincidence to semantically identify video scenes. Audio analysis focuses on the segmentation of the audio source into three types of semantic primitives, i.e. silence, speech and music. Further processing on speech segments aims at l...

Scene Structure and Change Detection Running Head: Scene Structure and Change Detection Scene-like Structure Enhances Change Detection

Does scene-like structure enhance change detection? Theories of scene perception, neural representation of scenes and object recognition seem to imply that it should. However, extant evidence from the change detection literature is thus far ambiguous with respect to this question. The four experiments reported here demonstrate that scene-like structure does, in fact, enhance change detection. I...
