  1. Semantic consistency versus perceptual salience in visual scenes: Findings from change detection Spotorno, S., Tatler, B. W., & Faure, S. (2013). ActaPsychological, 142(2), 168-176.

  2. Objects are primarily selected on a perceptual basis with subsequent and supplementary effect of semantic consistency

  3. Introduction • The allocation of attention during scene perception is likely to be guided by both low-level perceptual and higher-level information.

  4. Semanticvs.Perceptual • Detection can be easier for changes that are visually salient (Pringle et al., 2001, Spotorno and Faure, 2011a and Spotorno and Faure, 2011b) • Contextual meaning and semantic relations within a scene can also play a substantial role when allocating attention toward the changes and in enhancing memory. (Stirk& Underwood, 2007, Hollingworth & Henderson, 2000)

  5. Semantic • “central interest”——An advantage for detecting changes that involve the most consistent objects in the scene.( Auvray and O'Regan, 2003 , Kelley et al., 2003 , O'Regan et al., 2000 , Pringle et al., 2001 , Rensink et al., 1997 and Rensink et al., 2000 ) • semantically inconsistent objects or changes may be prioritised.( Gordon, 2004 , Gordon, 2006 , Hollingworth and Henderson, 2000 , Hollingworth and Henderson, 2003 and Stirk and Underwood, 2007 )

  6. Perceptual • Some support for the notion that overt selection correlates with visual conspicuity, or visual salience ( Itti & Koch, 2000 ) has been found in scene viewing studies. (eg, Mananet al., 1997 , Parkhurst et al., 2002 and Reinagel and Zador, 1999 ) • Evidence for better or faster change detection for objects of high perceptual salience, either in conditions of overt ( Pringle et al., 2001 ) or covert ( Spotorno and Faure, 2011a and Spotorno and Faure, 2011b ) attention.

  7. Materials • 16 coloured drawings, plus 4 for practice(PFLI — Bortolini, 1995 ) • 2 versions ——diagnostic or inconsistent • All the scenes were evaluated by 8 independent observers • 4 observers viewed the “diagnostic object” other 4 viewed the “inconsistent object” versions of the images.

  8. Up to 3 objects  ——diagnostic or inconsistent • Rate on a 6-point Likert scale the probability of occurrence in the scene (from 1, minimum, to 6, maximum) of a set of 7 objects pre-selected by the experimenters.

  9. Half (8) of the diagnostic objects occurred among the first 3 most salient elements of the image. • The other 8 were not selected by the software among the first 7, and therefore we considered them as low salient objects.

  10. One-Shot paradigm  1.. Trial examples. (1A) Deletion of a low salience/high consistency (i.e., diagnostic) item. (1B) Addition of a high salience/high inconsistency item.

  11. Result •  There was a main effect of Salience 80.32% vs. 49.7%

  12. Result • no significant main effects for Type of Change or Consistency Diagnostic: 65.91%Inconsistent: 64.11 64.84% 65.17%

  13. Result • Consistency and Salience interacted significantly • (High saliency)Performance was better for diagnostic than for inconsistent changes (82.96% vs. 77.69%)

  14. Result • The interaction between Type of Change and Consistency was significant 68.73％ 61.62％ 63.09％ 66.6％

  15. Repetition of scenes and changes • The first changing version of the scene was detected with lower accuracy (56.74%) • Accuracy was no different between the second (64.94%), third (67.29%) or fourth (68.85%) change for each scene

  16. main effect: Salience,  Type of Change • Interaction: Consistency and SalienceF（1，30）= 4.23，p  = .049

  17. main effect: Salience,  Type of Change • Interaction: Consistency and SalienceF（1，30）= 4.23，p  = .049

  18. This study was the first to compare directly objects that are diagnostic for the scene's gist and those that are inconsistent with it within a single experiment.

  19. Semantic consistency in change detection • presentation times  • types of images • Degree of clutter

  20. Semantic analysis of perceptually salient objects reveals an inconsistency with the gist, further processing time is required. • a specific difficulty for the addition of highly salient inconsistent objects.
