A variable mapping task produces symmetrical interference between global information and local information.
When processing global and local aspects of compound visual figures, a robust finding is that global targets are detected faster and more accurately than local targets. Moreover, unidirectional interference is often observed. Despite the convincing evidence that global information and local information are available together, when attention is focused on the global level, items from the local l...

متن کاملGlobal Information from Local Observation
We observe a certain random process on a graph ”locally”, i.e., in the neighborhood of a node, and would like to derive information about ”global” properties of the graph. For example, what do you know about a graph based on observing the returns of a random walk to a given node? Our main result concerns a graph embedded in an orientable surface with genus g, and a process, consisting of random...
متن کاملLocal and global information in biological motion
Animate motion patterns are a rich source of biologically significant information. They quickly and reliably signal the presence of an animate agent and convey its identity, actions and intentions. Observing other people in motion, our visual system is able to retrieve information about sex, age and weight of a person and can even detect signatures that identify a familiar individual. The relev...

This story describes the difficulties of understanding a large concept or global view based on only local information. Modern technologies enable us to easily obtain and retain local information. However, simply collecting local information does not g...
