Palmer (1975)

You need to know:
 * The aim
 * The procedure
 * The results/findings
 * The conclusion
 * The evaluation

Aim:
To find out whether a schema influences recognition of object

Procedure:

 * Lab experiment
 * Ps shown visual scenes to provide a context
 * They were then shown an object to identify
 * This either matched the scene or didn’t
 * The number of correctly identified objects was counted

Results

 * Most object identified from appropriate scenes
 * Least objects identified from inappropriate scenes
 * Results for no context in between these two
 * What were the appropiate, inappropriate scenes and what were the objects identified?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Conclusion
 
 * Appropriate context helps with perception
 * Because expectations are based on perceptual set/schema

Evaluation
Strengths: Weaknesses:  
 * If Ps had forgotten their eyes so they weren’t used in the experiment
 * So differences in the results were not due to differences in vision
 * Timing was controlled
 * So differences between conditions were not due to some situations being easier
 * im falling psychology tmrw pls help!!!!!
 * Ps might have worked out what the experimenter wanted to find
 * So they would try harder to identify the object in the matching condition
 * Ps did all four conditions so might have been muddled
