Title: Perceptual Variation in Object Perception
The basis of perception is the processing and categorization of perceptual stimuli from the environment. Much progress has been made in the science of perceptual categorization. Yet there is still no consensus on how the brain generates perceptual experiences from sensory input and perceptual categories in long-term memory. In this talk, I argue that perceptual categorization is highly variable across perceivers due to their use of different perceptual strategies for solving perceptual problems they encounter, and that the perceptual system structurally adjusts to the strategies that are most successful. I call this view "perceptual pluralism."
