To overcome display limitations of small-screen devices, researchers have proposed
techniques that point users to objects located off-screen. Arrow-based techniques such as …

The ability to visually complete partly occluded objects (so-called “amodal completion”) has
been documented in mammals and birds. Here, we report the first evidence of such a …

Abstract Objects in a scene are often partially occluded without causing the viewer any
problem: the occluded parts are apparently represented via amodal completion. To evaluate …

When grasping an object, subjects tend to look at the contact positions of the digits (AM
Brouwer, VH Franz, D. Kerzel, & KR Gegenfurtner, 2005; RS Johansson, G. Westling, A …

We investigated conditions under which observers can interpolate occluded contours by a
single, stable, smooth contour. Observers viewed partly-occluded contours defined by linear …

We examined time course of grouping of shape by perceptual closure in three experiments
using a primed matching task. The gaps between the closure-inducing contours varied in …

Learning to recognize a new object requires binding together dissimilar images of that
object into a common representation. Temporal proximity is a useful computational cue for …

We investigate the relationship between illusory figure detection and discrimination of its
shape, asking whether these depend on a single, two separate, or two sequential …

Two habituation experiments were conducted to investigate how 4‐month‐old infants
perceive partly occluded shapes. In the first experiment, we presented a simple, partly …

We investigated whether the perceptual completion of illusory contours exhibits a vertical
bias (J. Pillow & N. Rubin, 2002). Experiments 1–3 measured completion with Pillow and …
