Integral stimuli (e.g., colors varying in saturation and brightness) are classically considered to be processed holistically (i.e., as undifferentiated stimulus wholes); people analyze such stimuli into their consistent dimensions only with substantial time, effort, training, or instruction (Foard & Kemler, 1984). In contrast, Combination Theory (Wills et al., 2015) argues that the dimensions of integral stimuli are quickly combined. Through an investigation of the effects of stimulus presentation time, we support Combination Theory over the classical holistic-to-analytic account. Specifically, using colored squares varying in saturation and brightness, we demonstrate that the prevalence of single-dimension classification increases as stimulus presentation time is reduced. We conclude that integral stimuli are not slowly analyzed, they are quickly synthesized.
整体刺激(例如饱和度和亮度不同的颜色)传统上被认为是整体加工的(即作为未分化的刺激整体);人们只有在花费大量时间、精力、训练或指导的情况下,才会将此类刺激分析为其一致的维度(福尔德和凯姆勒,1984)。相比之下,组合理论(威尔斯等人,2015)认为整体刺激的维度会迅速组合。通过对刺激呈现时间的影响进行调查,我们支持组合理论而非传统的从整体到分析的观点。具体而言,使用饱和度和亮度不同的彩色方块,我们证明随着刺激呈现时间的减少,单维度分类的发生率会增加。我们得出结论,整体刺激不是被缓慢分析,而是被迅速合成。
