Abstract
Change blindness is a cognitive phenomenon described as the failure to detect visual changes in our environment. This cognitive process can throw some light on one of its underlying mechanisms, the process of binding, to hopefully provide potential solutions to the neural binding problem. To do so, we manipulate the process of binding to increase change detection and reduce change blindness. Based on a conceptual network model and the concept of serial binding, a 2x2 repeated measures design was conducted. The participants were instructed to notice changes between pre- and post-change screens, each screen presenting six objects. The experiment made use of an indirect location cue. This experiment investigated two independent variables: the shared object’s identity and location. The dependent variables were the correctly identified location of change and the confidence level of the participants response. The experiment’s central hypothesis involved an interaction effect: participants would perform better when the object being cued shared its identity with another object in the display and when those objects were placed next to each other. The results support the central hypothesis based on the conceptual network model and the serial binding mechanism.
