B.  Academic History

 

a)  Research activities

 

1. METAPHOR, PICTURES AND SYMBOLS

 

Problems of representation in perception and cognition:

 

There are metaphors in pictures as well as language and other media.  The basis is features the topic and vehicle are said to share. Form symbolism also relies on common features.  The features allow classification and propositions.  Contrary views by Lakoff & Johnson are analyzed in papers with J. Vervaeke. The propositional reasoning is a formal system which can be learned by a parallel distributed process, I contend, with C. Green. The contradictions in tropes allow attitudes to be conveyed, I contend in papers with D. Berntsen.  Symbolism can operate with forms across languages, I show with C.H. Liu. Metaphor requires more features than similes, and much more than analogies and form symbols, I find, with D. Chiappe. Indeed, metaphor increases apparent similarity, we find.

 

 

2.      TOUCH AND PICTURES

 

a.       With J. Bai, A. D'Angiulli and M.A. Heller I find the congenitally blind understand tangible outline drawings of common objects. Also they can make outline drawings of objects.  Drawing ability develops in blind children much as it does in young sighted children.  The haptic environment is distal as well as proximal. Tactile pictures can be apt, and aptness affects recognition and repetition.

 

b.     Blind children and adults understand aspects of polar perspective, including vantage points, projection and convergence, since the haptic environment involves directions.

 

c.       Metaphoric features of shape in depiction are understood by the blind and the sighted I find (with P. Gabias, and C. Merkas). This finding lead to my research on metaphor and symbolism. 

 

d.   Passive haptic perception of  raised‑line drawings is superior to active perception, I find, with L. Magee and B. Richardson  Information, not activity or passivity, is the basis for haptics. We are testing a tactile machine that can access the internet and provide pictures for the blind.

 

 

3.  VISION AND PICTURES

 

a.       Outline creates untaught perceptual effects in vision and touch.

Research on cave‑art and non‑pictorial peoples from Papua/New Guinea provides supportive evidence.             Line depicts relief (not shape-from-shadow). Line is not inherently visual, and not coloured or bright.

 

b.  Polar perspective geometry is a privileged system among several relevant pictorial systems, rather than the only correct one.  With A. Nicholls, a developmental theory of drawing has been proposed and tested with 1000 children, and 1000 adults, showing the growing influence first of foreshortening and later of convergence, two aspects of polar perspective.

 

c.  Research with W.A. Simpson shows that the cross‑ratio, a polar-perspective invariant, does not aid space perception.   Rather, the use of perspective foreshortening depends on the angle subtended by the object. 

 

d.   Research with A. Nicholls shows parallel projection pictures are subject to the laws of foreshortening, like polar projection. 

 

e.   Research with I. Juricevic: visual angle percepts are affected by metric size (size in cm.)..

 

 

4.  INFORMATION AND ILLUSION

 

.

 

Theories that hold outline information is concentrated at points of change (Attneave, Biederman) are shown to be false, in a series of studies with R. Domander, notably. An alternative theory, supported by the studies, holds that distribution of information should be regular, a condition which permits ready extrapolation and interpolation.

 

Illusions are shown to be dispelled from suitable vantage-points, and illusions are not deceiving when the set of vantage points contains veridical invariants.  Illusions can be combined with additive results, studies with H. Miyoshi show. Veridical information is not additive - it is affirmative.

 

5.       BRIGHTNESS AND HARD-EDGE PICTURES

 

Subjective contour brightness is due to cente-surrround effects. Subjective contour clarity is due to extensions of inducing contour. The sides of lines allow assimilation.   Models of contour and axis formation have been proposed with S. Funk, I. Kumazawa and D. Todorovic. I also offer a new analysis of contours due to accretion and deletion.   Work with C. Ware has produced remarkable 3-D illusory contour figures which contribute to art as well as to psychology.  Research with children demonstrates that the contours and brightness are not deceptive, and, I suggest, are created by second‑order perceptual processes, akin to pictorial depth.
