Processing typical objects in scenes: effects of photographs versus line-drawings.
The main purpose of this paper is the description of our research into the influence of stimuli (photographs or line-drawing pictures) in perception of scenes. Many researchers have been using the concept of "typically" in an attempt to explain the influence of knowledge structures on processing visual stimuli. We have also tried to examine the influence of typicality on processing objects in environmental scenes. An experiment was carried out using photographs and their equivalent line-drawings. Subjects had to identify objects and associate them with environmental scenes. Our results show that the typicality factor was significant but not the kind of stimuli used (photographs versus line-drawings). We also discussed the use of photographs and line-drawing pictures as stimuli in the identifying process of visual perception.
