AI Article Synopsis
- Three experiments tested how quickly people can be influenced by images of different complexity when judging distances in photography.
- The primes (initial images) were shown for short durations (800-50 ms) before participants viewed a target scene and indicated which spatial probe was closer to them.
- Results showed that scene priming was most effective with short prime durations (200 ms or less), indicating its rapid influence on everyday distance perception, regardless of the complexity or orientation of the scenes.
Article Abstract
Three experiments examined the time course of layout priming with photographic scenes varying in complexity (number of objects). Primes were presented for varying durations (800-50 ms) before a target scene with 2 spatial probes; observers indicated whether the left or right probe was closer to viewpoint. Reaction time was the main measure. Scene primes provided maximum benefits with 200 ms or less prime duration, indicating that scene priming is rapid enough to influence everyday distance perception. The time course of prime processing was similar for simple and complex scene primes and for upright and inverted primes, suggesting that the prime representation was intermediate level in nature.
