Preliminary results on priming based tools to enhance learning in museums of fine arts

The goal of this paper is to assess whether a tool based on visual-perceptual repetition priming, a kind of implicit memory, may improve the methodology of looking at artworks. Watching is a learned skill that is neither innate nor spontaneous. Onlookers would benefit from a method that may enhance their visual skills. In this work we also present preliminary results obtained analysing subjects’ brain signals collected by an EEG-based device during the verification test phase of the performed experiment. This new approach appears promising and we are planning to perform more experiments with a larger number of subjects
