{"pk":27953,"title":"Enumeration by pattern recognition requires attention: Evidence against immediate holistic processing of canonical patterns","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Enumeration of canonical patterns (e.g., faces of six-sideddice) has generally been characterized by researchers as aholistic process, in which all items are perceived collectively.In previous work, based on a holistic processing view of enu-meration by pattern recognition, we predicted that enumera-tion of canonical forms would not be significantly affected byattentional load. In this paper, we present the results from twoexperiments designed to test this prediction using a divided-attention paradigm. In contrast to our predictions, enumerationof canonical patterns was disrupted by attentional load. Fur-thermore, enumeration of patterns under high attentional loadshowed evidence of conflation between patterns with similarcontours, providing evidence against a holistic processing ac-count of canonical pattern recognition.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"numerosity judgment; subitizing; enumeration; attention; pattern recognition; canonical patterns"}],"section":"Publication-based-Talks","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/3zc3v7ms","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Gordon","middle_name":"","last_name":"Briggs","name_suffix":"","institution":"US Naval Research Laboratory","department":""},{"first_name":"Christina","middle_name":"","last_name":"Wasylyshyn","name_suffix":"","institution":"US Naval Research Laboratory","department":""},{"first_name":"Paul","middle_name":"F","last_name":"Bello","name_suffix":"","institution":"US Naval Research Laboratory","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2018-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/27953/galley/17591/download/"}]}
