Disrupted object-scene semantics boost scene recall but diminish object recall in drawings from memory.

Humans are highly sensitive to the statistical relationships between features and objects within visual scenes. Inconsistent objects within scenes (e.g., a mailbox in a bedroom) instantly jump out to us and are known to catch our attention. However, it is debated whether such semantic inconsistencie...

      ab: Humans are highly sensitive to the statistical relationships between features and objects within visual scenes. Inconsistent objects within scenes (e.g., a mailbox in a bedroom) instantly jump out to us and are known to catch our attention. However, it is debated whether such semantic inconsistencies result in boosted memory for the scene, impaired memory, or have no influence on memory. Here, we examined the relationship of scene–object consistencies on memory representations measured through drawings made during recall. Participants (N = 30) were eye-tracked while studying 12 real-world scene images with an added object that was either semantically consistent or inconsistent. After a 6-minute distractor task, they drew the scenes from memory while pen movements were tracked electronically. Online scorers (N = 1,725) rated each drawing for diagnosticity, object detail, spatial detail, and memory errors. Inconsistent scenes were recalled more frequently, but contained less object detail. Further, inconsistent objects elicited more errors reflecting looser memory binding (e.g., migration across images). These results point to a dual effect in memory of boosted global (scene) but diminished local (object) information. Finally, we observed that participants fixate longest on inconsistent objects, but these fixations during study were not correlated with recall performance, time, or drawing order. In sum, these results show a nuanced effect of scene inconsistencies on memory detail during recall.
