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.
