Project submitted to a journal

Hi Folks,

Just a quick note to let you know that I have submitted a paper based on this project to the scientific journal Perception.  In addition to the experiment funded here, we conducted another control experiment, bundled that together with the present project, and together it presented a coherent story.  Basically, we found that novices and art experts show many similarities in terms of how they integrate a title with a visual image to produce an aesthetic experience when viewing visual art. However, we also found numerous differences that indicate that art experts are employing their art knowledge when they make decisions about understanding an abstract painting.  If you would like a copy of the manuscript, PM me at mullenni@pitt.edu.  Thanks!
