Two experiments investigated a model for global procedence, which states that global aspects of a form are invariably recognized prior to local levels. Experiment 1 showed that speed of recognition was approximately the same for global and local levels of a form. Experiment 2 independently manipulated the "quality" of information at global and local levels by distorting the forms. Either local or global precedence could be obtained depending on which level was distorted. These results suggest that the specific interaction between local and global levels will depend on the relative visibility or quality of form information at each level.
两项实验对一种整体优先模型进行了研究，该模型认为，一种形式的整体特征总是先于局部特征被识别。实验1表明，对于一种形式的整体和局部特征，识别速度大致相同。实验2通过扭曲形式，独立地操控了整体和局部层面信息的“质量”。根据被扭曲的是哪个层面，既可以得到局部优先，也可以得到整体优先。这些结果表明，局部和整体层面之间的具体相互作用将取决于每个层面形式信息的相对可见性或质量。
