Rapid Serial Visual Presentation

Rapid Serial Visual Presentation (RSVP ) is a presentation technology. RSVP is like flipping through a book to get an idea of ​​its contents within a short time. The overall structure is clear and well-known images are detected.

Software Engineering

RSVP is an approach to reading longer texts on a small screen (for example, a mobile phone or handheld). Instead of the text static and paper-like display ( in page form), the text is played dynamically on the screen. The user does not need to scroll itself, but just follow the words on the screen. The speed is adaptively calculated, i.e. it is calculated with consideration of the structure of text. Punctuation brakes, shorter words they accelerate.

Experimental paradigm

The same technique is used in experiments (among studies on language processing ) in order to present a text (usually single sentences ) subjects. Mostly expected by the panelists according to a reaction to a particular event, and analyzes the average time to response. The events can be, for example, errors in the set ( "Anomaly Detection" ) or tones.

Also, flows are shown by letters ( eg, per a letter for 10 ms) are embedded in the about single digits. The aim of the test subjects can be seen in this case, the " target " in the stream and thereafter perform different tasks. These tasks range from the simple mention of the target, on the naming of the next few on the target following stimuli to the call of other targets in this stream. These experiments are as common in studies of attentional blinks.
