DESCRIPTION:Today’s dominant view of perception begins with the fast\, para
 llel detection of “basic” features or parts followed by a slow\, attention-
 demanding integration of those features into objects. Gestalts present a ch
 allenge for this approach because they entail wholes that behave as basic\,
  in that they are perceived quickly ­ or even more quickly - than the parts
  and features from which they emerge. This talk will review what we know ab
 out Gestalts and identify methods by which they can be diagnosed\, includin
 g Garner Interference\, redundancy losses\, configural superiority effects\
 , false pop-out\, and negative search slopes. I will describe a way to defi
 ne Gestalts in terms of emergent features and suggest a new and possibly mo
 re principled approach that builds Gestalts from the ground up and measures
  them on a uniform scale.
