Recent research has shown that comprehension of visual narrative relies on the ordering and timing of sequential images. Here we tested if rapidly presented 6-image long visual sequences could be understood as coherent narratives. Half of the sequences were correctly ordered and half had two of the four internal panels switched. Participants reported whether the sequence was correctly ordered and rated its coherence. Accuracy in detecting a switch increased when panels were presented for 1 s rather than 0.5 s. Doubling the duration of the first panel did not affect results. When two switched panels were further apart, order was discriminated more accurately and coherence ratings were low, revealing that a strong local adjacency effect influenced order and coherence judgments. Switched panels at constituent boundaries or within constituents were most disruptive to order discrimination, indicating that the preservation of constituent structure is critical to visual narrative grammar.
近期研究表明，对视觉叙事的理解依赖于连续图像的顺序和时间安排。在此，我们测试了快速呈现的6幅图像长的视觉序列是否能被理解为连贯的叙事。一半的序列顺序正确，另一半的四个中间画面中有两个被调换了。参与者报告序列顺序是否正确，并对其连贯性进行评分。当画面呈现1秒而非0.5秒时，检测到调换的准确率提高。将第一个画面的时长翻倍并未影响结果。当两个被调换的画面距离更远时，顺序辨别得更准确，连贯性评分较低，这表明强烈的局部邻接效应影响了顺序和连贯性判断。在组成部分边界处或组成部分内部被调换的画面最不利于顺序辨别，这表明组成结构的保留对视觉叙事语法至关重要。
