Attention, similarity, and the identification-categorization relationship.

TL;DR: In this paper, a unified quantitative approach to modeling subjects' identification and categorization of multidimensional perceptual stimuli is proposed and tested, where subjects identify and categorize the same set of perceptually confusable stimuli varying on separable dimensions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Emergent features, attention, and object perception.

TL;DR: The perceptual processing of arrows and triangles and of their component angles and lines was explored and the results suggest that some analysis of shapes into simpler parts occurs preattentively, because these parts can recombine to form illusory conjunctions when attention is divided.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tests of an exemplar model for relating perceptual classification and recognition memory

TL;DR: Evidence was provided that Ss allocated attention to the psychological dimensions differentially for classification and recognition, and the distribution of attention came close to the ideal-observer distribution for classification, and some tendencies in that direction were observed for recognition.

The magical number seven, plus or minus two: some limits on our capacity for processing information

TL;DR: The theory of information as discussed by the authors provides a yardstick for calibrating our stimulus materials and for measuring the performance of our subjects and provides a quantitative way of getting at some of these questions.

The magical number seven plus or minus two: some limits on our capacity for processing information

TL;DR: The theory provides us with a yardstick for calibrating the authors' stimulus materials and for measuring the performance of their subjects, and the concepts and measures provided by the theory provide a quantitative way of getting at some of these questions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Attention and the metric structure of the stimulus space.

TL;DR: In this paper, three experiments were performed in an investigation of how differences in size and inclination combine to determine the over-all similarity between otherwise identical visual stimuli. Similarity was defined both in terms of direct subjective judgments of overall resemblance and the frequencies with which the stimuli were actually confused during identification learning.
