In FY 2016, experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of spatial context on image memorability. The meaningfulness of spatial context was manipulated by using intact images (meaningful context) and shuffled versions of these images (meaningless context). The results revealed that when intact images were presented as irrelevant background, search performance was significantly worse for highly-memorable-background trials compared to less-memorable-background trials, indicating that attention was captured by highly memorable images. However, this effect disappeared when background images were shuffled scenes. This has the important implication that spatial context may play an important role in determining image memorability.
