Abstract
The phenomenon of change blindness is defined by the failure to perceive a change in our environment. In this follow-up study, this phenomenon is examined by reproducing such change on a digital screen and analyzing its effects under specific conditions of distance and identity, measuring participants’ detection accuracy and confidence. The framework used for this experiment (N=34), is the conceptual network view (de Vries, 2014), which observes the neural dynamics behind binding and the phenomenon of change blindness, accounting and providing evidence specifically for the role played by the conditions of adjacency and identical identity, which were therefore manipulated, in the number of temporary neural connections between cell assemblies, their spatial map and its memory traces linked to the identity of the target object. Following the most recent and similar line of research by fellow students from the University of Groningen, it was hypothesized that 1) there would be an interaction effect for target identity and distance for the scoring accuracy measure, that 2) the adjacent/shared-identity condition would provide for significantly higher accuracy in comparison to the other three conditions and that 3) the confidence ratings would statistically follow the trends of the accuracy rating, The results showed no significant difference between the adjacent/non-adjacent condition, opposing the first hypothesis. Confirmatory results were found for the second and third hypotheses, respectively linked to the condition in which the highest accuracy was recorded (shared-identity/adjacency) and the parallel nature of confidence ratings and scoring accuracy.
