Document Summary
We perceive words with phonies put together in our minds. They are informative; referred to as diagnostic. Tried to erase the contours of the lines of objects. Harder to recognize without the contours and concavity in objects. Contours and concavities should give us a lot of info. Objects should be recognizable with some of their geons missing. Can take away a bunch of geons and still be able to recognize the object. Went against the serial contour tracing theory. Mentioned that we recognize objects by tracing the objects with our eyes. Follow the lines of the objects and then we generate a mental representation that we compare to our long term memory. Found that complex objects were recognized faster instead. People see things differently because they are morning people or night owls. Depends on the amount of light that they are exposed to usually. Applied to the white and gold or blue and black dress.
