Viewpoint dependency in dynamic events is still an open question. Movies present a unique case of complex visual stimuli where consecutive shots are filmed from multiple viewpoints. In the present study we have examined whether people remember viewpoint-specific information in movie-like visual scenes. We have used naturalistic activities which involved two actors where a) the sequence is presented from one or both actors' viewpoints and b) the individual actions were in a natural order or they were scrambled. The results indicated that memory for individual shots decreased when the sequence was presented from both actors' perspectives. Also people were mostly unaware of the order manipulation and reordering the individual actions did not lead to a decrease in memory performance. The results favor the film-form model which suggests that the spatial relations in movie scenes are represented by taking the first shot of a scene as the basis and incorporating the views in subsequent shots accordingly. This argues for an economical encoding in visual events which favors narrative continuity over spatial relations.

What makes a visual scene more memorable? A rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP) study with dynamic visual scenes
(ROUTLEDGE JOURNALS TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2023) Ayse Candan Simsek; Nazif Karaca; Berk Can Kirmizi; Furkan Ekiz; Karaca, Nazif; Simsek, Ayse Candan; Kirmizi, Berk Can; Ekiz, Furkan; Candan Şimşek, Ayşe
The visual system has been characterized as having limited processing capacity. Research suggests that not all visual information is equal and that certain visual scenes are registered better than others. The present study investigated how people process biological stimuli under time constraint using a Rapid Serial Visual Presentation (RSVP) paradigm with dynamic movie scenes. The results of Experiments 1 and 2 indicated that recognition memory as well as identification performance got better with longer duration (400 ms vs. 200 ms). Most importantly biological stimuli led to better memory and lower reaction times. Lastly Experiment 3 was conducted to replicate previously observed dynamic advantage and to disentangle the role of motion from content. The results indicated that dynamic scenes were remembered better than static scenes for both the biological and non-biological stimuli. The ecological validity and retrieval benefit of dynamic scenes were discussed in relation to image memorability.
