There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu
*********************************
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.Â
