Object-context inconsistencies affect gaze behavior differently than predicted by contextualized meaning maps

Abstract

ConclusionHuman observers look more at objects that are semantically inconsistent with the scene context compared to consistent objects. Contextualized meaning maps do not show a similar sensitivity to this manipulation. In fact, on average, raw rating data–from which these maps are generated–indicate that humans rate inconsistent objects as slightly less meaningful.
