Abstract
Psychophysiological experiments were carried out to study the probability and latency of the recognition of significant and insignificant stimuli, namely, partially masked images of household items during their tachystoscopic presentation to subjects with normal vision. Data on a group of 16 subjects showed that the probability of recognition of significant stimuli was substantially higher as compared to the recognition of insignificant stimuli. The recognition latencies for significant stimuli were significantly higher as compared to insignificant stimuli. These effects were found using analysis of the distribution of the respective values and ANOVA. We did not find any gender effects. We suppose that these differences were related to a longer and more detailed recall and comparison of significant stimuli with other images of the set used, as well as to the effect of selective visual attention and interaction between the recognitions of significant and insignificant stimuli on the final result of identification of images.
