Abstract
Change blindness refers to the inability to detect changes during the visual perception. The current study focuses on the role of binding in the change detection of state-changes. Concerning the identity of the objects, we expected that when a target object shared its identity with another object on the screen the accuracy scores and confidence ratings would be higher. Concerning the distance we expected that placing the objects that share their identity adjacent would result in higher accuracy scores and confidence ratings. We therefore expected an interaction effect between identity and distance. The experiment had four different conditions; (i) The target object shares its identity with an object and are placed adjacent, (ii) The target object shares its identity with an object and are not placed adjacent, (iii) The identical objects do not share identity with the target object and are placed adjacent, and (iv) The identical objects do not share identity with the target object and are not placed adjacent. In the experiment, we used the identity cue to indicate next to which object a change would appear. In total, 42 participants took part in the change detection experiment. For both accuracy and confidence ratings the hypotheses on identity and distance were supported by the results. We also found an interaction effect for the dependent variable confidence ratings. No interaction effect was found for the accuracy scores, which opposes our hypothesis.
