An almost general theory of mean size perception
A general explanation for the observer's ability to judge the mean size of simple geometrical figures, such as circles, was advanced. Results indicated that, contrary to what would be predicted by statistical averaging, the precision of mean size perception decreases with the number of judged elements. Since mean size discrimination was insensitive to how total size differences were distributed...
متن کاملA General Theory of Almost Convex Functions
Let ∆m = {(t0, . . . , tm) ∈ Rm+1 : ti ≥ 0, ∑m i=0 ti = 1} be the standard m-dimensional simplex and let ∅ = S ⊂ ⋃∞ m=1 ∆m. Then a function h : C → R with domain a convex set in a real vector space is S-almost convex iff for all (t0, . . . , tm) ∈ S and x0, . . . , xm ∈ C the inequality h(t0x0 + · · ·+ tmxm) ≤ 1 + t0h(x0) + · · ·+ tmh(xm) holds. A detailed study of the properties of S-almost co...
متن کاملObligatory averaging in mean size perception
The perception of ensemble characteristics is often regarded as an antidote to an established bottleneck in focused attention and working memory, both of which appear to be limited in capacity to a few objects only. In order to test the associative law of summation, observers were asked to estimate the mean size of four circles relative to a reference circle. When there was no time to scrutiniz...
متن کاملAlmost Hadamard Matrices: General Theory and Examples
We develop a general theory of almost Hadamard matrices. These are by definition the matrices H ∈ MN (R) having the property that U = H/ √ N is orthogonal, and is a local maximum of the 1-norm on O(N). Our study includes a detailed discussion of the circulant case (Hij = γj−i) and of the two-entry case (Hij ∈ {x, y}), with the construction of several families of examples, and some 1-norm comput...
متن کاملAn aftereffect of adaptation to mean size.
The visual system rapidly represents the mean size of sets of objects. Here, we investigated whether mean size is explicitly encoded by the visual system, along a single dimension like texture, numerosity, and other visual dimensions susceptible to adaptation. Observers adapted to two sets of dots with different mean sizes, presented simultaneously in opposite visual fields. After adaptation, t...
