A Group of Experimental Participants Are Shown a Photo of a Stuffed

Multiple Choice

A group of experimental participants are shown a photo of a stuffed bear placed on a large dining room table. The photographer 'zooms in' and the image is taken relatively close to the stuffed animal, such that the bear takes up approximately 50% of the space in the photo (the remaining 50% is table) . If the participants are asked to draw a picture that reproduces the photo they saw, based on prior work (Intraub et al., 1996, 1998) , what error would you expect?

A) The memory for the photo will be 'zoomed in' too close, with the bear taking up more than 50% of the total space in the photo.
B) The memory for the photo will be 'zoomed out' too far, with the bear taking up less than 50% of the total space in the photo.
C) None of these responses options follows from work discussed in your textbook.
D) Given the 50/50 split between the object (bear) and background (table) , and the relative importance of the object, the colour for the background will be wrong.
E) Given the 50/50 split between the object (bear) and background (table) , and the relative importance of the background, the colour for the object will be wrong.
