Isolating and Mitigating Sequentially Dependent Perceptual Errors in Clinical Visual Search

Psychophysical experiment on sequential effects in medical image perception. Observers, including clinicians, perform psychophysical continuous report match-to-sample and forced-choice discrimination judgments of medical images, including radiographs and photographs. Observer discrimination accuracy is measured on a trial-wise basis and sequential effects in those judgments are measured. Images can be presented with different interstimulus intervals and in different spatial locations and in different orders. Accuracy, and other signal detection metrics are computed as a function of these factors.
