Gestalt Effects in Visual Working Memory

Abstract: The study investigated whether the congruence between the shape of the single target and the shape of the overall pattern of stimuli, as well as the regularity (equal distances among stimuli) of that pattern, could facilitate the maintenance of information in visual working memory (VWM). We observed strong evidence in favor of the congruency effect, and moderately positive evidence for the regularity effect. Both effects were relatively weak, but easily identifiable with the quite large samples we examined. Th… Show more

“…The problems of digital image segmentation and grouping segments represent a major challenge for the entire field of Computer Vision and Digital Image Processing [1,2]. These problems do not exist only in the area of Multimedia [3]. In 1938 Werheimer defined the visual perception of what humans saw as a group of small segments of the visual field [4].…”

“…Although the specific term “emergent engram” does not appear in major databases (e.g., PubMed and PsychINFO), its general idea is prevalent throughout contemporary memory research. Indeed, it is prominent throughout cognitive psychology, e.g., in the writings of Endel Tulving with the emergence of multiple memory systems (Tulving, 1987 ; Nyberg et al, 1998 ) among others in the Gestalt tradition (Kałamała et al, 2017 ; Allon et al, 2018 ). In addition, it has more contemporary relevance to other recent work in behavioral neuroscience (Sara and Hars, 2006 ; Sara, 2017 ).…”

“…This fact has been established by studies in the field of psychology that have attempted to understand perception (e.g. Curby & Moerel, 2019;Dybala et al, 2020;Feldman, 2001;Guberman, 2017;Kałamała et al, 2017;Kimchi, 2000;Peterson & Kimchi, 2013;Tétreault et al, 2020;Wagemans et al, 2012). Both humans and animals use visualisation in their daily life to process information from the environment, which is essential for survival.…”
