A century of Gestalt psychology in visual perception: II. Conceptual and theoretical foundations.
Johan Wagemans,Jacob Feldman,Sergei Gepshtein,Ruth Kimchi,James R. Pomerantz,Peter A. van der Helm,Cees van Leeuwen +6 more
TL;DR: Wagemans et al. as mentioned in this paper reviewed contemporary formulations of holism within an information-processing framework, allowing for operational definitions (e.g., integral dimensions, emergent features, configural superiority, global precedence, primacy of holistic/configural properties) and a refined understanding of its psychological implications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Goodness of Visual Regularities: A Nontransformational Approach
TL;DR: This theoretical study presents a new analysis, based on the recently developed concept of holographic regularity, that applies to the intrinsic character of regularity and specifies the unique formal status of perceptually relevant regularities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Integrating Global and Local Aspects of Visual Occlusion
TL;DR: The hypothesis that the perceptually preferred interpretation is the one for which the total information load is minimal is tested on many patterns stemming from different studies on pattern completion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Serial pattern complexity: irregularity and hierarchy.
TL;DR: In this paper a new complexity metric is proposed, based on a formal analysis of the concept of regularity, which accounts for the amounts of irregularity and hierarchy as represented in a code of a pattern, such that these two amounts can be added to determine the complexity of a code.
Journal ArticleDOI
Symmetry and selective attention: A dissociation between effortless perception and serial search
TL;DR: It is concluded that symmetry detection per se requires selective attention, but that some related grouping or segmentation mechanism may operate preattentively.
