Document Summary
Reversible figure = visual pattern that easily allows more than one interpretation. Dynamic information = encoded in short-term representation of objects. Recognition depends on how the individual interprets and organizes the visual stimulus. Good continuation tend to perceive contours in a way that alters their direction as little as possible. Bridging the gap between the biological and cognitive aspects of psychology. Form perception recognition of form begins with detecting simple features. Object recognition driven by object shape and dynamic information. Object (figure) appears a coherent whole, separate from its backdrop (ground) Visual search tasks features = super important. Feature net tasks models of pattern recognition involving a network of detectors and having . Top-down processing = using models, ideas (individual features) putting together to interpret one picture. Bottom-up processing = taking sensory information and then assembling and integrating it. Geons = simple geometrics figures that can be combined to create all other shapes.
