The order of processing, whether global forms are processed prior to local forms or vice
versa, has been of considerable interest. Many current theories hold that the more …

Two experiments are reported investigating the order in which global and local information
of visual forms is processed. Subjects were presented with compound stimuli and were …

This chapter summarizes a growing body of literature on organizational effects in vision.
Although they are readily experienced phenomenally, these effects also surface in the …

The paradigm based on using compound stimuli for studying global and local processing is
revisited. Noting that not all researchers employ compound stimuli for the same purpose, the …

Paquet and Merikle (1988) found that subjects can ignore the category of unattended local
forms but not that of global forms. Does this finding reflect a priority for global information …

We examined the grouping of line segments into unitary shapes and attempted to identify
procedures to diagnose when such grouping is taking place. Previous research has …

A distinction has previously been proposed between global properties, defined by their
position in the hierarchical structure of the stimulus, and wholistic/configural properties …

Humphreys and Boucart (1997) have shown that when processing of local form is required
for response, surrounding global information is automatically processed to a semantic level …

Abstract Latimer & Stevens (1997) develop a useful framework for discussing issues
surrounding the definition and explanation of perceptual gestalts. They use this framework to …
