Figural goodness effects in perception and memory
There is an apparent contradiction concerning configurational effects in visual information processing. Some studies have shown that when an array is organized into a "good" or unitary Gestalt, analysis of a single part of it is facilitated, while others have shown "good" arrays to impede search for a part. The three experiments reported here support the proposition that goodness of form can fa...
متن کاملOn the role of figural organization in perceptual transparency.
Metelli (1974) made an important contribution by identifying order and magnitude restrictions for a pattern of intensities and showing that when they are satisfied the perception of transparency readily occurs. These restrictions were derived from a physical model of transparency. We argue that the visual system does not use intensity information to compute indices of transmittance and reflecta...
متن کاملEffects of motion and figural goodness on haptic object perception in infancy.
4-month-old infants held 2 rings, 1 in each hand, out of view. The rings moved rigidly together and were either the same (Experiment 1) or different (Experiment 2) in substance, weight, texture, and shape. After haptic habituation to a ring display, patterns of preferential looking to visibly connected vs. separated rings provided evidence that the infants perceived the rings in both experiment...
متن کاملAn Electrophysiological Index of Perceptual Goodness
A traditional line of work starting with the Gestalt school has shown that patterns vary in strength and salience; a difference in "Perceptual goodness." The Holographic weight of evidence model quantifies goodness of visual regularities. The key formula states that W = E/N, where E is number of holographic identities in a pattern and N is number of elements. We tested whether W predicts the am...
متن کاملMental rotation of compound stimuli: the effects of task demands, practice, and figural goodness.
Four experiments examined whether or not mental rotation of compound stimuli is a holistic process. Large letters (global aspect) composed of small letters (local aspect) were presented, and the format (normal vs. reflected) of each aspect was manipulated independently. In Experiment 1, the rate of mental rotation was compared under divided- and focused-attention instructions. The overall rate ...
