Effects of depth of encoding on form-specific memory were examined. After viewing words (e.g., "bear") presented centrally during initial encoding, participants completed word stems (e.g., "BEA") presented laterally and pattern masked during subsequent test. When the encoding task was perceptual, letter-case specific memory was not observed, unlike in previous experiments without pattern maskin...

Structural information theory (SIT) deals with the perceptual organization, often called the ‘gestalt’ structure, of visual patterns. Based on a set of empirically validated struc­ tural regularities, the perceived organization of a visual pattern is claimed to be the most regular (simplest) structure of the pattern. The problem of finding the perceptual orga­ nization of visual patterns has re...

feature extraction is a main step in all perceptual image hashing schemes in which robust features will led to better results in perceptual robustness. simplicity, discriminative power, computational efficiency and robustness to illumination changes are counted as distinguished properties of local binary pattern features. in this paper, we investigate the use of local binary patterns for percep...

In order for statistical information to aid in complex developmental processes such as language acquisition, learning from higher-order statistics (e.g. across successive syllables in a speech stream to support segmentation) must be possible while perceptual abilities (e.g. speech categorization) are still developing. The current study examines how perceptual organization interacts with statist...

-According to the coding theory of pattern perception, the preferred organization of a pattern is reflected by the simplest code that represents this pattern. The number of codes, out of which the simplest one has to be selected, grows exponentially with the complexity of the pattern. So in computer simulation it would not be wise to generate all codes and then select the simplest one. This wou...
