Abstract
The effect of stimulus set size was studied in a visual search task called “matching-to-sample.” Ss’ task was to locate a predetermined “matching” stimulus in a display of similar stimuli. It was found that increasing the number of different stimuli seen on previous trials, while holding display size constant, increased reaction time (RT) to identical displays. This result is discussed in relation to feature-testing models of stimulus processing.
