Pregunta	Respuesta
Aim	To see whether context affects perception
Procedure	-64 students -Shown visual scenes for 2 seconds -Briefly shown an object to identify -Repeated measures -Participants were given written instructions telling them what to do
Procedure (Further Explanation with an example) Context: Kitchen	4 conditions of context: -Appropriate (Recognising a loaf of bread) -Inappropriate, similar (Recognising a mailbox that looks like a loaf of bread) -Inappropriate, different (Recognising a drum) -No context
Results	Image: 47954115-9238-46bf-ade3-af31be456e74 (image/jpg)
Conclusion	Expectations affect perception. People have a perceptual set based on context which affects how accurately they recognise objects.
Strengths	-Palmer controlled for how long participants saw the context and the object -Participants had standardized instructions -Data from two pps were not taken as they had forgotten their glasses
Weaknesses	-Because the participants were told what they were doing, they may have been subject to bias -As two results were removed, there were fewer results for the study
