Referring to theories of multiple documents and narrative processing, two experiments investigated how viewers process pairs of documents about historical events, namely, historical paintings together with audio-texts either naming or not naming historical inaccuracies in the paintings. The results of Experiment 1 revealed that participants encountering discrepancies allocated more attention to the pictorial element, compared to participants without discrepancies, but not to the source label containing information about the artist. Participants in the two conditions reported an equal amount of interest in receiving further information and did not differ with regard to the retention of pictorial elements. In Experiment 2, participants rated the painting’s trustworthiness lower with discrepancies named than without, and this effect was compensated by an explanation for the discrepancy. Retention of the manipulated pictorial elements was not affected by either presenting these elements as discrepant or not, but an explorative analysis indicated that the pictorial elements presented always as consistent were remembered worse with discrepancies named. In Experiment 1, the reported transportation into the historical narrative was lower with compared to without discrepancies named, but we could not replicate this effect in Experiment 2. Our results extend multiple documents literature on multiple documents of text and picture.

参照多个文档和叙事处理的理论，两个实验研究了观看者如何处理有关历史事件的文档对，即历史绘画以及音频文本，命名或不命名绘画中的历史错误。实验1的结果表明，与没有差异的参与者相比，遇到差异的参与者将更多的注意力放在绘画元素上，而不是包含有关艺术家信息的来源标签。参加这两种情况的参加者表示，他们对获得进一步信息的兴趣相同，并且在保留绘画元素方面没有不同。在实验2中，参加者对绘画的可信赖度的评价比起有差异的情况要低，与没有差异的情况相比，并通过解释差异来弥补这种影响。这些可操作的图形元素的保留不受这些元素是否存在差异的影响，但一项探索性分析表明，始终存在一致性的图形元素被命名为差异时会被记忆得更差。与没有命名差异的实验相比，在实验1中报告的进入历史叙述的传输要少，但是我们无法在实验2中复制这种效果。我们的结果将多个文献文献扩展到文本和图片的多个文献上。但是一项探索性分析表明，始终存在一致性的图形元素会因命名差异而被记住得更糟。与没有命名差异的实验相比，在实验1中报告的进入历史叙述的传输要少，但是我们无法在实验2中复制这种效果。我们的结果将多个文献文献扩展到文本和图片的多个文献上。但是一项探索性分析表明，始终存在一致性的图形元素会因命名差异而被记住得更糟。与没有命名差异的实验相比，在实验1中报告的进入历史叙述的传输要少，但是我们无法在实验2中复制这种效果。我们的结果将多个文献文献扩展到文本和图片的多个文献上。
