N2  - Experiments with 2-element visual groups reveal a form of interference that has several interesting properties. Observers judged the orientation of an imaginary line formed by 2 pixels (the target) while attempting to ignore a third pixel (the noise). Noise interfered with performance, even when it was made distinct from the target in various ways. This interference was strongly position linked; a single equation described the interference pattern for many different target-noise configurations. Maximum interference was observed not when the noise was closest to the target but when it was at a distance of half the separation between target pixels. Some initial findings were consistent with the idea that visual grouping reflects the operation of visual channels with Gabor-like receptive-field profiles. But subsequent results implicated processes that automatically construct visual boundaries.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
