Title: | Eye-tracking study of inanimate objects | Authors: | Ković, Vanja Plunkett K. Westermann G. |
Issue Date: | 1-Dec-2009 | Journal: | Psihologija | Abstract: | Unlike the animate objects, where participants were consistent in their looking patterns, for inanimates it was difficult to identify both consistent areas of fixations and a consistent order of fixations. Furthermore, in comparison to animate objects, inanimates received significantly shorter total looking time, shorter longest looks and a smaller number of overall fixations. However, as with animates, looking patterns did not systematically differ between the naming and non-naming conditions. These results suggested that animacy, but not labelling, impacts on looking behaviour in this paradigm. In the light of feature-based accounts of semantic memory organization, one could interpret these findings as suggesting that processing of the animate objects is based on the saliency/diagnosticity of their visual features (which is then reflected through participants eye-movements towards those features), whereas processing of the inanimate objects is based more on functional features (which cannot be easily captured by looking behaviour in such a paradigm). | URI: | https://open.uns.ac.rs/handle/123456789/12044 | ISSN: | 00485705 | DOI: | 10.2298/PSI0904417K |
