Abstract

Watching the others’ behavior, an individual makes conjectures regarding their intentions and then generates rapid predictions about their further actions. We were elaborating modification of “flicker” procedure and proposed new methodical approach to an objective assessment of rapid predictions, arising during visual perception of dynamic events. The present study shows that when we perceive complex social scenes, “deep” analysis of perceptual characteristics of objects, associated with people’s prospective intentions and actions is realized. As a result of this processing, stable representations of these objects are formed and provide the object’s rapid search and change detection. The study reveals that the representation forming does not depend on the object’s previous focal processing. The representations of the intent objects are maintained in visual working memory and allow integrating observed aspects of actions in the unified image. Thus, the representations are an important factor which provides effective perception of the other’s behavior. Refs 13. Figs 9.
