--- abstract: '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.' altloc: - http://www.engga.uwo.ca/graduate/gist.htm chapter: ~ commentary: ~ commref: ~ confdates: ~ conference: ~ confloc: ~ contact_email: ~ creators_id: [] creators_name: - family: Beeckmans given: John honourific: '' lineage: '' date: 2001 date_type: published datestamp: 2001-01-02 department: ~ dir: disk0/00/00/11/73 edit_lock_since: ~ edit_lock_until: ~ edit_lock_user: ~ editors_id: [] editors_name: [] eprint_status: archive eprintid: 1173 fileinfo: /style/images/fileicons/text_html.png;/1173/1/gist.htm full_text_status: public importid: ~ institution: ~ isbn: ~ ispublished: unpub issn: ~ item_issues_comment: [] item_issues_count: 0 item_issues_description: [] item_issues_id: [] item_issues_reported_by: [] item_issues_resolved_by: [] item_issues_status: [] item_issues_timestamp: [] item_issues_type: [] keywords: 'perception, vision, gist, information, conceptual short-term memory, image.' lastmod: 2011-03-11 08:54:28 latitude: ~ longitude: ~ metadata_visibility: show note: ~ number: ~ pagerange: ~ pubdom: FALSE publication: ~ publisher: ~ refereed: FALSE referencetext: |- Anstis,S.M.
