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:
* 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!!!!!
Weaknesses: 
* 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
