From face recognition studies, it is known that instructions are able to change processing orientation of stimuli, leading to an impairment of recognition performance. The present study examined instructional influences on the visual recognition of dynamic scenes. A global processing orientation without any instruction was assumed to lead to highest recognition performance, whereas instructions focusing participants' attention on certain characteristics of the event should lead to a local processing orientation with an impairment of visual recognition performance as a direct consequence. Since the pattern of results provided evidence for this hypothesis, theoretical contributions were discussed.
从人脸识别研究中可知，指令能够改变刺激的加工方向，从而导致识别性能下降。本研究考察了指导对动态场景视觉识别的影响。假设没有指导的全局加工方向会导致最高的识别性能，而将参与者的注意力集中在事件的某些特征上的指导则会导致局部加工方向，从而直接导致视觉识别性能下降。由于结果模式为该假设提供了证据，因此讨论了理论贡献。
