This paper, contrary to skepticism about the human ability to perceive topological properties, addresses some commonly heard nontopological counterexplanations and provides evidence to rule out these apparent counterexamples against the topological hypothesis. Data from improved control conditions show that the reason why these counterexamples seem inconsistent with the topological hypothesis is that they fail to take due account of two factors: visibility, and organization other than physical connectedness.
本文与对人类感知拓扑性质能力的怀疑态度相反，探讨了一些常见的非拓扑学反例解释，并提供证据排除这些明显的与拓扑假设相悖的例子。来自改进控制条件的数据表明，这些反例看似与拓扑假设不一致的原因在于，它们没有充分考虑两个因素：可见性以及除物理连通性之外的组织形式。
