Abstract

Continuous pictorial narratives (CPN) present protagonists repeatedly, yet adult viewers report seeing different persons instead. We presented 12 CPNs to 16 adults, whose oculomotor and verbal responses were continuously recorded. We addressed (a) the capability of instructions to compensate for lacking aesthetic fluency (Smith & Smith, 2006); (b) perceptual-cognitive processes accompanying Person Repetition Detection (PRD); (c) formal stimulus properties related with PRD. The results demonstrated that (a) search for presented persons especially similar to each other yielded more PRD than estimation of average age or aesthetic evaluation; (b) saccades between picture regions with repeated persons and PRDs were positively correlated; and (c) formal properties and PRD are not reliably correlated.
