Abstract
The binding problem presents a significant challenge in our understanding of perception and the visual working memory. Using the conceptual network model of cognitive brain-processing, this study researches the role of temporal context in binding and change blindness, predicting that the reappearance of one or several objects from one trial to another has a significant effect on the sensitivity to change in an image- based change blindness task. Knowing the role of context is important to both our scientific understanding of perception as well as how we interpret situations vulnerable to change blindness, such as eyewitness accounts in court. Participants in our experiment were asked to perform a change-blindness task, tasked with spotting changes in objects belonging to sets of 6 images. The duration of the experiment was approximately 20 minutes. The results of the conducted RM-ANOVA showed no significant effect of context on change sensitivity or location accuracy.
