The feature-analysis approach to object recognition argues that
 
  a. recognition involves a match between the overall shape of an item and the gestalt features stored in memory.
  b. recognition involves detecting specific characteristics of the stimulus.
  c. the match between the stimulus and the template must be exactly correct.
  d. we need to explain how people are able to recognize the arrangement of objects in a specific scene.

Question 2

c Page(s): 40 Difficulty: Moderate 2-16. The template model of object recognition would have the most difficulty explaining
 
  a. how people recognize letters of the alphabet if you turned the letters upside-down.
  b. how computers recognize a standardized set of numbers.
  c. how people can recognize an isolated letter, without any word context.
  d. how people recognize neatly printed numbers.

Question 3

Imagine that you are looking at a geometric drawing. At first, one shape in this drawing seems to be in front of other shapes. The next moment, this same shape seems to be located behind a second shape. This phenomenon is called:
 
  a. depth perception.
  b. an illusory contour.
  c. an ambiguous figure-ground relationship.
  d. holistic recognition.

Question 4

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.
