Journal ArticleDOI
Seeing and hearing in space and time: Effects of modality and presentation rate on implicit statistical learning
TL;DR: The authors explored whether visual-spatial and auditory modality constraints also affect implicit statistical learning in an artificial grammar learning task and found that visual learning is best when it is spatially rather than temporally distributed, whereas audition is the opposite.
Journal ArticleDOI
Shape constancy in autism: the role of prior knowledge and perspective cues.
Danielle Ropar,Peter Mitchell +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that perception in autism may be less influenced by prior knowledge, and therefore less 'top-down', in this domain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatial and mnemonic properties of visual images
Ulric Neisser,Nancy H. Kerr +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, it is argued that mental images represent the layout of perceived space, in J. J. Gibson's sense, rather than being mental pictures, and that images in which a key object is concealed within or behind another should be just as effective for mnemonic purposes as those in which the relation between the objects is picturable, even though subjects may describe the Concealed images as less "vivid" than the Pictorial ones.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of the inertia tensor in perceiving object orientation by dynamic touch.
TL;DR: It was shown that perceived orientation was a linear function of actual orientation for both free and restricted wielding and for rods of different-size branches and its implications for effortful or dynamic touch.
Journal ArticleDOI
Object and observer motion in the perception of objects by infants.
TL;DR: Sixteen-week-old human infants distinguish optical displacements given by their own motion from displacements give by moving objects, and they use only the latter to perceive the unity of partly occluded objects, suggesting object perception depends on registration of the motions of surfaces in the three-dimensional layout.
