Description:

Studies in social science suggest that when humans use explanations, they are often contrastive (Miller, 2021).
Contrastive explanations promote easier communication, fine grained understanding, and reduce cognitive
load (Lewis,1986; Lipton, 1990; Ylikoski, 2007). While the linguistic representational aspects of contrastive
explanation have been studied rigorously, people do so much more when explaining a complex event to each
other, and we can learn much by considering how people represent and process contrast in visual and verbal
domains together. For this purpose, we investigated the effect of contrast in an action understanding setup
and reasoned that if contrastive verbal explanation is easier to understand generally, it might also lead to
better understanding of action sequences. Here, we ask whether visual and verbal contrasts really hold some
prominence essentially when compared to non-contrastive representations?
