Sensitivity to attachment, alignment, and contrast polarity variation in local perceptual grouping.
A number of leading theories (e.g., Grossberg & Mingolla, 1985; Kellman & Shipley, 1991; Rensink & Enns, 1995) commonly assume that perceptual grouping by contour alignment occurs preattentively across reversing contrast polarity elements. We examined this notion in seven visual search experiments. We found that only grouping by attachment supported preattentive visual search and that grouping ...
متن کاملPerceptual grouping in Gabor lattices: proximity and alignment.
We propose the Gabor lattice as a new stimulus designed to deal with multiple organizations in perceptual grouping, allowing both comparison between psychophysical data and neural findings and a systematic investigation of grouping based on several low-level characteristics and their interactions. A Gabor lattice is a geometric lattice with Gabor patches, evoking a multistable global orientatio...
متن کاملPerceptual Grouping and Change Detection Perceptual Grouping in Change Detection Perceptual Grouping and Change Detection
Detection of an item changing its location from one instance to another is typically unaffected by changes in the shape or color of contextual items. However, we demonstrate here that such location change detection is severely impaired if the elongated axes of contextual items change orientation, even though individual locations remain constant and even though the orientation was irrelevant to ...
متن کاملDivide and conquer: How perceptual contrast sensitivity and perceptual learning cooperate in reducing input variation in speech perception.
Listeners have to overcome variability of the speech signal that can arise, for example, because of differences in room acoustics, differences in speakers' vocal tract properties, or idiosyncrasies in pronunciation. Two mechanisms that are involved in resolving such variation are perceptually contrastive effects that arise from surrounding acoustic context and lexically guided perceptual learni...
متن کاملThe role of contrast polarity in perceptual closure
Perceptual closure is one of the principles by which the visual system groups disjointed contour segments belonging to a single object. Recently it has been reported that grouping based on perceptual closure operates only upon contour elements of a consistent contrast sign and is eliminated when closed contours contain contrast reversing segments [Elder, J. & Zucker, S. (1994) A measure of clos...
