Summary

The present chapter briefly reviewed findings from previous chapters and discussed their implication on the research question of the present thesis, i.e. how will the implied between-objects actions affect responses? Collectively, the findings of the present thesis suggested an automatic prioritization of the active over the passive objects based on the processing of action-related information of the objects, which is relatively independent from the identities of the objects and the object pairs. These findings extended previous literature in affordance selection by illustrating affordance selection between action-related objects and the influence from such implied action relation. Further, this chapter suggested that the results in previous chapters may reflect the extraction of "interact-ability", together with single-object affordances, from multi-object scenarios, and that these action-related features can be included into certain map for the visual scene (see discussion in section 7.2). This chapter further underlined the need for thorough investigation on whether and how action-related information is extracted in realistic and complex visual scenes and how such extraction is analogous or different from the extraction of single-object affordances.
