2) Single feature search: the object of interest has one defining feature
3)onjunction search: searching for an object with three or more defining features
4) Set size: the number of items to search for

Answer 1

The term 'Set size: the number of items to search for' is the search term correctly matched with its definition. Other terms such as pop-out effect, single feature search, and conjunction search were not accurately matched in the student's examples provided.

Step-by-step explanation:

The search terms and their corresponding definitions related to visual search tasks can be quite specific. In the context provided:

• The pop-out effect refers to a phenomenon where an object stands out immediately against a background of other objects, making it rapidly and easily identifiable regardless of the number of items in the visual field, not just in a small set size as suggested.
• Single feature search is when the object of interest is defined by a single distinguishing feature, making it relatively easy to locate.
• A conjunction search is a type of visual search where the target can be identified by two or more features that together distinguish it from the distractors, not necessarily requiring three or more as stated.
• The term set size indeed refers to the number of items in a display or visual field that a person is searching through.

Based on these clarifications, the search term correctly matched with its definition is number 4, 'Set size: the number of items to search for.'
