Low-Interference Photos

Caption

In the low-interference trials, pictures of more extreme, widely varied objects were interspersed with blob-like objects (used in high-performance trials). For example, a picture of a plant was shown next to a photo of a radio. Interspersing the very similar blob-like objects with photos of dissimilar objects greatly reduced the amount of interference. Minimizing the degree of perceptual interference improved patients’ object perception by reducing the number of visually similar features.
