| Any Known Methodological Differences (between original and present study)? | Rosenholtz et al. used cubes rather than rectangular solids, but Sun & Perrona (1995) used cubes and like Enns & Rensink found evidence for rapid search for inverted cubes among upright cubes (although Sun & Perrona did not use a response-time design, they measured temporal thresholds). Rosenholtz used a more random and spare arrangement of stimuli than did both the previous studies and they speculate that this made the crucial difference. They attribute the previous findings of efficient search to "yet-unspecified emergent features" present only in the dense displays. An obvious alternative is the likely difference in average eccentricity of the stimuli. |
