Is there an assignment of top and bottom during symmetry perception?

چکیده
We report data from a discrimination task in which participants had to decide whether a single-item display was either vertically symmetric or asymmetric. This decision was found to be easier when items with a top bottom polarity were placed in an orientation where the wide end was the base of the stimulus and the narrow end was the top. The difference in reaction times between this orientation and its inversion was about 10 ms. We suggest that top and bottom labels are assigned to stimuli during the detection of bilateral symmetry.

Event-Related Potentials of Bottom-Up and Top-Down Processing of Emotional Faces
Introduction: Emotional stimulus is processed automatically in a bottom-up way or can be processed voluntarily in a top-down way. Imaging studies have indicated that bottom-up and top-down processing are mediated through different neural systems. However, temporal differentiation of top-down versus bottom-up processing of facial emotional expressions has remained to be clarified. The present st...

متن کاملCoordinate frame for symmetry detection and object recognition.
Can subjects voluntarily set an internal coordinate frame in such a way as to facilitate the detection of symmetry about an arbitrary axis? If so, is this internal coordinate frame the same as that involved in determining perceived top and bottom in object recognition and shape perception? Subjects were required to determine whether dot patterns were symmetric. Cuing the subjects in advance abo...
