Change-blindness in event description tasks isinformative about the interrelation between visual perception and languageplanning","subtitle":null,"abstract":"The visual processing of complex event stimuli and the planning of utterances to describe them happen rapidlyand partly overlap in time, posing a challenge to researchers on vision and language: How exactly do the processes interact?As a test case we investigate how sudden content-changes in visual scenes affect speakers of different languages. In a novelapproach, we elicit event descriptions from naturalistic video stimuli of motion events consisting of two segments (240ms each),each followed by a mask (80ms). A potential change-blindness situation regarding the presence/absence of the goal of motionis created. We exploit typological differences between French and German regarding the verbal encoding of goal-orientation.Analyses of the linguistic data (content and timing) reveals a language-specific effect regarding how subjects accommodate toseemingly unnoticed changes (e.g., distribution of hesitations, temporal onsets of words). Furthermore, we find differences inovert change detection frequency depending on conditions.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"Posters: Member Abstracts","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/8bt592v8","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Johannes","middle_name":"","last_name":"Gerwien","name_suffix":"","institution":"Heidelberg University","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2017-01-01T21:00:00+03:00","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/27507/galley/17143/download/"}]}
