Method to detect a gist change X.A.N.D.R.A. van Montfort, H.P. de Greef, D.G. Bouwhuis
Summary
The method applied
The Method !
A lot of changes in images and real-world situations can go undetected. It has been suggested that changes affecting the gist of an image are likely to be noticed. To test if a gist change facilitates change detection a method is developed to determine if a change affects the gist of an image. The gist is reflected in a verbal description of the interpretation of what an image is about. The method determines if a change in an image results in different interpretations of both versions of the image.
Step 1: Collecting descriptions, The Generator-task ! !
Generators provide descriptions One version per generator !
Descriptions of image A
Descriptions of image B
Waiting room of the general practitioner
Example of stimuli
A woman gets an invitation Two men see a beautiful woman and look at her
Thea with her broken leg gets redundancy pay
Develop a method to determine if a change in an image affects the gist Does the change affect the gist of the image?
!
18 sets of stimuli Two types of changes Intended to affect the gist Intended not to affect the gist 10 to 15 descriptions for each image Three raters
It is busy at the office
People at the office kindly converse with the w o m a n
Aim
!
Image A The original image
Getting fired
In a hospital the receptionist gives a letter to a patient
Image B A change intended to affect the gist of the image
Step 2: Categorizing descriptions, The Rater-task !
