Compare stimuli to templates in memory for one with greatest overlap until a match is found: template theory, weakness of theory. Cannot account for the flexibility of pattern recognition system. More problems : template theory, more weaknesses of theory. Comparison requires identical orientation, size, position of template to stimuli. Does not explain how two patterns differ: e. g. , there"s something wrong with it this, but i can"t put my finger on it . I see: feature theories, recognize objects on the basis of a small number of characteristics (features) Detect specific elements and assemble them into more complex forms.
