Perceptual Preference

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of the strength of perceptual style preference on the acquisition of a novel motor task. The Physical Needs element of the Learning Style Inventory was administered to 98 students, 14 to 15 yr. old, to determine the strength of their perceptual preferences for processing auditory, visual, and kinesthetic/tactile information. Subjects practiced the tennis-ball basket-bounce test as a novel task 8 times (3 practice and 5 test trials) per day for 9 days. Subjects were grouped according to the strength of their perceptual preferences: Group 1 ( n = 15) in the top quartile on all perceptual modes; Group 2 ( n = 16) at the median on all modes; and Group 3 ( n = 14) in the bottom quartile on all modes. Scores on the ball-bounce task were compared across groups using a 3 (groups) × 9 (days) analysis of variance. There were over-all significant differences between perceptual-preference groups and across days, but no significant interaction was detected. The composite strength of perceptual-style preference as measured is potentially important in acquisition of this motor skill.

Rod And Frame

402 males and 160 females hospitalized for treatment of alcoholism were tested in a standardized manner on the Rod-and-frame test as a means of supplementing an earlier report of normative data on perceptual style among male alcoholics. When their performance was contrasted with that of normal and psychiatric samples, alcoholics were clearly the most field dependent of all groups studied. Statistically significant sex differences justify the need for separate norms for males and females.

Abstract Esthetic experience is the result of the coordination of different cognitive processes. It has been widely reported that top-down processes of orienting of attention interact with bottom-up perceptual facilitation occurring during esthetic experience of artworks. Here we use whole-part ambiguity as a tool to test the effect of global and local prime on esthetic appreciation of complex visual artworks. To this aim 139 healthy young individuals completed an esthetic judgment of Arcimboldo’s ambiguous artworks, which were preceded by a local or global prime. Their perceptual style was also assessed using a Navon task. We found that local prime significantly enhanced esthetic appreciation of ambiguous portraits. Also, we found that prime level interacted with individual’s perceptual style: participants showing local perceptual style liked less ambiguous portraits when they were preceded by global prime. Overall, the present findings shed some light on the processes involved in esthetic experience, pointing towards a pivotal role of re-direction of attention towards perceptual features of the artworks and its interaction with individual factors, such as perceptual style.
