Abstract

A program of research designed to measure and model the human's capacity for comprehension of displays of real-world scenes is described. The results of experiments on perceiving jumbled and bizarre scenes show that in the first 100 msec. of a single glance at a novel scene, sufficient information is extracted to meet several criteria of scene comprehension. Speed and accuracy of scene perception are mediated by scene schemata--internal, semantic representations of scenes.
