The theory I am suggesting for
all of form perception, not
merely for the aspect of it
affected by orientation, then,
is that perceived shape is
determined by the content of
an unconscious description we
make of objects. That
description is a joint function
of the objectΓÇÖs geometry and its
perceived orientation,
although other factors enter in
as well.
There is a seeming flaw in
the entire argument presented
here about orientation and
form. If one uses certain kinds
of material other than simple
geometrical forms, such as
pictures of faces or printed or
written words, and conducts
the experiment on head tilt
described earlier but for head
tilts of 90 degrees or more, and
particularly for tilts of 180
degrees, the outcome is the
opposite of what I have
maintained. To read print or to
recognize faces, it is better to
maintain the imageΓÇÖs retinal
orientation than to maintain
the figureΓÇÖs orientation in the
environment.
