A robust finding in human cognition is that the global shape of hierarchical patterns (e.g. patterns in which a square is formed by the configuration of local elements such as smaller circles) is processed faster and more accurately than their component parts (6). By contrast, monkeys (2,5,7) and pigeons (1) are faster and better at the identification of the local elements. Chimpanzees (3,4,5) show an intermediate patterns of results. Here we investigated, for the first time, the processing of the local and global dimensions of visual hierarchical stimuli in fish.

Abstract
A robust finding in human cognition is that the global shape of hierarchical patterns (e.g. patterns in which a square is formed by the configuration of local elements such as smaller circles) is processed faster and more accurately than their component parts (6). By contrast, monkeys (2,5,7) and pigeons (1) are faster and better at the identification of the local elements. Chimpanzees (3,4,5) show an intermediate patterns of results. Here we investigated, for the first time, the processing of the local and global dimensions of visual hierarchical stimuli in fish.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione
