The feature-analysis theories
a. can only explain letter recognition; they cannot account for the recognition of other two-dimensional visual stimuli such as triangles or squares.
b. argue that each visual stimulus is unique, with no features in common with other visual stimuli.
c. propose that each visual stimulus must be compared with an idealized representation of an entire stimulus in memory.
d. state that we differentiate among stimuli in terms of a limited number of specific characteristics.
Question 2
Suppose that you are looking at an advertisement that features a large figure. At first, you think you are looking at a star.
However, when you look closer, you realize that some of the star's edges are not actually shown on the paper, yet they seem to be physically present. This perceptual experience is called
a. a template.
b. an example of bottom-up processing.
c. a distinctive feature.
d. an illusory contour.
