Visual Search Experiment Design

The document outlines two visual search experiments comparing stimuli based on one versus two dimensions. The simple experiment involves participants searching for a pentagon among hexagons, hypothesizing that reaction time will increase with more figures due to conjunction search. The complex experiment divides participants into two groups to assess how prior exposure to a color affects reaction time when searching for a specific shape among similar colors.

In the simple Psyc2002- Visual Search

Victoria Hiu, Sc121068

All the stimuli in the demonstration use multidimensional stimuli. Design an experiment in
which you compare stimuli that vary on just one dimension, such as colored circles, with
stimuli that vary on two dimensions (color and shape).

Simple Experiment:
During the simple visual search experiment, I would like my participant to find a pentagon,
which was in a group that was full of hexagons that were very similar to each other. In the
process, the longer time it takes to participate in dental research, the more figures will be
added to this experiment. Researchers suppose that participants' reaction time will be longer
as time passes due to the conjunction search, and it should be related to serial processing.

Complex Experiment:
In the study, I will put my participant into two groups, and both of these groups were carried
on by the simple task. One group will need to find a light blue pentagon in a group of indigo
hexagons, and the control group will exhibit a light blue portrait first, then do the same task.
The purpose of showing the light blue picture to the second group is to identify whether the
sensitivity of color affects the reaction time. The second group’s reaction time was assumed
to increase since they have adopted light blue indigo.
