The current volume, a special issue of Visual Cognition, brings
together an eclectic group of investigators, all of whom study
critical issues in the perception of true real-world scenes. Topics
include the rapid acquisition of scene gist; scene recognition;
spatial layout and spatial scale; distance perception in scenes;
updating of scene views over time; visual search for meaningful
objects in scenes; scene context effects on object perception;
scene representation in memory; the allocation of attention
including eye fixations during scene viewing; and the neural
implementation of these representations and processes in the brain.
Because the study of real-world scene perception benefits from an
interdisciplinary approach, contributors to the volume use a
variety of research methods including psychophysical and behavioral
techniques, eyetracking, functional neuroimaging (including fMRI
and ERP), and mathematical and computational modeling. While much
has been learned from studying simplified visual stimuli, many of
the articles in this volume make the important point that
understanding the functional and neural architectures of the visual
system requires studying how that system operates when faced with
the types of real-world stimuli that evolution crafted it to
handle.
