This chapter explores indicators of the perceptual, indicators of the cognitive, and their significance. The indicators of the perceptual include adaptation, rivalry, pop-out, speed of perceptual processing, and illusory contours. The chapter discusses two kinds of adaptation, the visual hierarchy—the use of adaptation in distinguishing high-level from low-level perception—and the use of adaptation in distinguishing high-level perception from cognition. It argues that semantic satiation is perceptual, not cognitive. It discusses Weber’s Law, search efficiency, innateness, and perspectival sensitivity. The chapter ends with an argument that the indicators of perception are more a product of one function of perception than of perception’s fundamental nature. |
