| Question | Answer |
| 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 | |
| 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 |
