Experiments by Verfaillie et al. (JEP; LMC, 1994) on transsaccadic integration of biological motion showed that intrasaccadic changes in in-depth-orientation were easily detected, whereas intrasaccadic changes in position were hard to detect when compared to extrasaccadic changes. Experiments by Boucart and Humphreys (Perception, 1997) on the temporal dynamics of the processing of physical and semantic information of objects, led to the conclusion that semantic relations between to be judged objects can have facilitative/inhibitory effects in terms of response times and errors, but only if one has to make decisions on the global shape of an object. It can be argued that when one has to make decisions on the in-depth orientation of an object, global shape has to be judged but not so when judgements about position have to be made. In the present experiment subjects made a saccade from one object (the source) to another object (the target) and had to detect saccade-contingent display changes, either in the position, either in the orientation of one of the objects. The semantic relation between source and target is manipulated. We predict an effect of semantic relatedness on the detection.
