    "abstract": "fficient categorizations of complex stimuli require \neffective encodings of their distinctive properties. In the \nobject recognition literature, scene categorization is often \npictured as the ultimate result of a progressive \nreconstruction of the input scene from precise local \nmeasurements such as boundary edges. However, even \ncomplex recognition tasks do not systematically require a \ncomplete reconstruction of the input from detailed \nmeasurements. It is well established that perception filters \nthe input at multiple spatial scales, each of which could \nserve as a basis of stimulus encoding. Whe n \ncategorization operates in a space defined with multiple \nscales, the requirement of finding diagnostic information \ncould change the scale of stimulus encoding. In Schyns \nand Oliva (1994), we showed that very fast categorizations \nencoded coarse information before fine information. This \npaper investigates the influence of categorization on \nstimulus encodings at different spatial scales. The first \nexperiment tested whether the expectation of finding \ndiagnostic information at a particular scale influenced the \nselection of this scale for preferred encoding of the input. \nThe second experiment investigated whether the multiple \nscales of a scene were processed independently, or whether \nthey cooperated (perceptually or categorically) in the \nrecognition of the scene. Results suggest that even though \nscale perception is mandatory, the scale of stimulus \nencoding is flexibly adjusted to categorization \nrequirements.",
