Description
The following is one verbal description of the stimulus shown in figure 2.
I see a man that's giving uh food to a group of three sows. In the background is a-a some kind of a hut with a thatched roof and behind that are what seem to be palm trees and in the very far distance there is a stone wall. Over that there is a cloud. To the right of that- of the scene is a well that has a bucket on the edge of it and in the front foreground of the photog- of the picture there seems to be a pile of rocks. Uhm, at the left (of) the picture there are two uh bundles of sticks in the foreground. On the left there's a hen or a rooster – I'm not sure which. Uh, leaning against the hut there is a broom and uh two bottles. One looks like it's empty, the other is upright. And a young man is walking toward the older man that's feeding the sows. And there is a cloud over the stone wall.
