An element in the visual field is just a conjunction of attributes: A critique of Bundesen (1991)

Nissen (1985)presented results showing that in partial-report experiments, selection by location was different from selection by color or by shape. Bundesen (1991) presented a reinterpretation of these results, claiming that they can also be explained by a model in which location selection is treated on a par with selection by color or by shape. We will show that the analysis given by Bundesen is based on a special relation between an “element” in the visual field and its location, which in fact reduces the expressions given by Bundesen to those given by Nissen. Furthermore, we will show that in Bundesen’s theory, it is assumed that in the process of perceptual categorization an element in the visual field can be referred to without the use of one of its attributes. This assumption is untenable from a theoretical point of view. In a1l the results presented by Nissen can still be regarded as evidence for the difference between selection by location and selection by color or by shape.

Uniform connectedness and classical Gestalt principles of perceptual grouping.

We assessed whether uniform connectedness (UC; Palmer & Rock, 1994) operates prior to effects reflecting classical principles of grouping: proximity and similarity. In Experiments 1 and 2, reaction times to discriminate global letters (H vs. E), made up of small circles, were recorded. The small circles were respectively grouped by proximity, similarity of shapes, and by UC. The discrimination of stimuli grouped by similarity was slower than those grouped by proximity, and it was speeded up by the addition of UC. However, the discrimination of stimuli grouped by proximity was unaffected by connecting the local elements. In Experiment 3, similar results occurred in a task requiring discrimination of the orientation of grouped elements, except that the discrimination of stimuli grouped by UC was faster than that of those grouped by weak proximity. Experiment 4 further showed that subjects could respond to letters composed of discriminably separate local elements as fast as to those without separated local elements. The results suggest that grouping by similarity of shapes is perceived slower than grouping by UC, but grouping by proximity can be as fast and efficient as that by UC.
