Peer reviewedSmith, Linda B.; Kemler, Deborah G. – Cognitive Psychology, 1978
The contrast between holistic and differentiated perception of multidimensional stimuli is reconceptualized. Hypotheses about the experiential status of dimensions within holistic perception were tested as explanations of children's general perceptual mode and of adults' integral mode. Three levels of dimensional status are described. (Author/RD)
