Eye movements and picture processing during recognition

Eye movements were monitored during a recognition memory test of previously studied pictures of full-color scenes. The test scenes were identical to the originals, had an object deleted from them, or included a new object substituted for an original object. In contrast to a prior report (Parker, 1978), we found no evidence that object deletions or substitutions could be recognized on the basis of information acquired from the visual periphery. Deletions were difficult to recognize peripherally, and the eyes were not attracted to them. Overall, the amplitude of the average saccade to the critical object during the memory test was less than 4.5 degrees of visual angle in all conditions and averaged 4.1 degrees across conditions. We conclude that information about object presence and identity in a scene is limited to a relatively small region around the current fixation point.

Resistance,reactance, and consultation

A review of techniques for dealing with consultee resistance is presented, with the limitations of these techniques. The social psychological theory of reactance is offered as a useful conceptual framework for considering resistance in consultation. Examples of the application of reactance theory to both minimizing consultee resistance and to utilizing consultee resistance for beneficial change are provided. Variables that predict the likely effectiveness of a reactance utilization intervention are described. Finally, ethical issues involved in the application of reactance techniques are discussed.
