Visual information for object identity in apparent movement
نویسنده
چکیده
Apparent movement is used to examine the nature of the visual information which specifies object identity. Constructive feature-comparison theories rely on static formal information and predict that two phases of an apparent movement display must be featurally similar in order to appear as a single object in motion. An opposing Gibsonian model is based on abstract geometrical information and predicts that the two phases may differ radically in shape but must be ecologically transformable in order to be seen as a single object. The predictions are tested by presenting subjects with displays which are similar but not transformable, and transformable but dissimilar. Results show that the transformabiIity of the display determines its perceived object identity, while featural similarity has no effect. An event theory of object identity is offered which claims that the a//ordance structure of an event, determined by geometric invariants specifies object identity. ma-

متن کاملApparent Object Movement Produced by Head Movement under Water
It was predicted that due to the optical distortion produced.by wearing a facemask, the constancy of visual position would not be maintained under water, i. e., stationary objects should appear to move when the head is moved. Subjects made magnitude estimates of object movement in both air and water. Twice as much movement occurred in water as in air. Two underwater activities, head rotation wh...
متن کاملThe role of façades in the formation of physical identity in the Iranian cities
The physical identity in the urban areas can be considered as a concept which is influenced by the way of arranging the urban body. As a matter of fact, the appropriate coordination and the compatibility of physical components, such as the urban façades, can definitely facilitate the reorganization of the urban environment for being more identifiable; this issue is so obvious in the historical ...
متن کاملDistributed Activity Patterns for Objects and Their Features: Decoding Perceptual and Conceptual Object Processing in Information Networks of the Human Brain
How are object features and knowledge-fragments represented and bound together in the human brain? Distributed patterns of activity within brain regions can encode distinctions between perceptual and cognitive phenomena with impressive specificity. The research reported here investigated how the information within regions' multi-voxel patterns is combined in object-concept networks. Chapter 2 i...
متن کاملBinding object features to locations: Does the "spatial congruency bias" update with object movement?
One of the fundamental challenges of visual cognition is how our visual systems combine information about an object's features with its spatial location. A recent phenomenon related to object-location binding, the "spatial congruency bias," revealed that two objects are more likely to be perceived as having the same identity or features if they appear in the same spatial location, versus if the...
