Typicality effects when processing objects into environmental scenes

Many researchers have used concepts such as “context” or “typicality” in order to explain the influence of knowledge structures on processing visual stimuli. In this article we have tried to establish the influence of typicality on processing objects into environmental scenes, but results have not supported our hypothesis on typicality effects. Results are discussed in the context of the theory of visual processing of environmental scenes, especially some interactions between conditions in experimental procedure. This research was conducted as part of the author’s doctoral thesis requirements at the University of Barcelona.
