The internal face prototype is thought to be a construction of the average of every previously viewed face (Schwaninger et al., 2003). However, the influence of the most frequently encountered faces (i.e., personally familiar faces) has been generally understated. The current research explored the face distortion aftereffect in unfamiliar, famous, and personally familiar (each subject's parent)...

When do people focus attention on the self? Based on Gestalt notions of figure–ground assignment, two experiments demonstrated that making self figural against a background induces self-focused attention. In Experiment 1, perceiving figural self-symbols increased selfawareness relative to perceiving background selfsymbols. In Experiment 2, making self figural against the background of a 6-perso...

Figure-ground organization involves assignment of edges to a figural shape on one or the other side of each dividing edge. Established visual cues for edge-assignment primarily concern relatively local rather than contextual factors. Here we show that assignment for a locally-unbiased edge can be affected by assignment of a remote contextual edge that has its own locally-biased assignment. We f...

O artigo tem como objetivo descrever uma modalidade do entrevistado estar em cena no filme Jogo de aqui denominada personagem figura. autor realiza análise orientada pelos conceitos figura e figural, tal são concebidos por Jean-François Lyotard. A resulta na descrição modo emerge um espaço paradoxal dentro qual a transformação corresponde subversão lógica da narrativa. permite concluir que o di...

Defects of glass-ceramic-glazes have hindered their production and use in ceramic art practice. We assumed the defects are low water absorption induced. This paper consequently studied different types glass for glaze with aim examining capacity, resistance to flow, dispersion behavior visual qualities determine suitable derivation. Eight glass, usually available as cullet refuse dumps, were use...

Glazes of (70 − x) ZnO-30 B2O3-x Bi2O3 with different contents were prepared by the conventional melt quench technique. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) curves obtained to determine glass transition temperature (Tg) and crystallization (Tc) glazes. The activation energy (Eg) (Ec) calculated using Moynihan Kissinger models, respectively. decreased linearly increasing content. This is beca...
