Abstract

Scene was defined as a semantically coherent view. The human visual system could gather an incredible amount of information about scene in a glance. When a rapid sequence of scenes is presented, subject also could detect accurately a target (Potter, 1975).Why did human can distinguish the target from distractor? Friedeman (1979) thought that scene identity could be inferred from the identification of one or more key objects, so some researches pay attention to the characters of key objects. Some evidences supported that scene could be identified from scene semantic information; however others argue that low spatial frequency information could induce scene identification. Torralba & Oliva et al（2006）presented Contextual Guidance Model that were comprised two parallel pathways, one pathway computed local saliency and other computed global features. The saliency was bottom-up factor and processing of the global features affected by top-down knowledge. In the present study included tow experiments, some scene materials about human safety and eye movement paradigm were used. Experiment 1 examined whether scene recognition affected by target objects or not. A 2(safe scene/dangerous scene)×3（substitution/deletion/identical）design was used.12 participants were asked to learn 18 scenes, and after the learning to test the recognition of change scene or identical scene. Experiment 2 was designed to examine the influence of information attribute on eye movement during the scene recognition. Experiment 1 showed the recognition rate of scene and dwell time on interest area of target location were difference significantly under the three object change conditions. The results implied scene recognition depended on the target objects. Experiment 2 found semantics information could attract attention greatly, but the first fixation time more long if semantics information apart from perception information. So we concluded semantic information have attention prioritization, but it was affected by priming of perception information.
