"1173","Generation of Conceptual Gists of Abstract Patterns","A short study was made on the generation of conceptual gists of two abstract stimuli containing either 66 or 200 circles in a range of sizes arranged in symmetric patterns. Distributions of estimates the numerousness of the circles, made by groups of subjects following either 95 ms or 2 s exposures had realistic average values, and were comparable between groups, indicating that gists of the principal geometrical features of the stimuli were captured and consolidated into long-term memory on the basis of a single fixation. Implications of this finding for the controversy on the nature of the coding of images and for the minimalist vision hypothesis are discussed.","http://cogprints.org/1173/","Beeckmans, John","UNSPECIFIED","       <span class=\"person_name\">Beeckmans, John</span>     (2001)  <a href=\"http://cogprints.org/1173/\"><em>Generation of Conceptual Gists of Abstract Patterns.</em></a>           (Unpublished)   ","","2001"
