Defining holism/configurality in

SIC
We analyzed the underlying fundamental processes engaged in
forming holistic perceptual representations. The subjects
participated in a face categorization task over multiple
sessions. We applied the systems factorial technology (SFT) to
analyze the properties of the observed response time (RT)
distributions. The key statistic was a survivor interaction
contrast function (SIC). Over the course of extensive practice,
the observed SICs exhibited a specific pattern of shape
transformations that could be described as a "snake wiggle".
The observed SIC signature indicated that the processing
mechanism behind holistic perception relies on strong positive
facilitation between feature detectors, within the parallel
mental network. The converging evidence is provided by the
additional qualitative RT test (Fific, Little & Nosofsky, 2010).

Signatures

 Let’s wiggle: The SIC function wiggles
its way to S-shaped positive function
 Robustness: All subjects wiggled
 Coactivation: The target signature is
Coactive, an indicator of strong holism
 Performance superiority: Mean RT
decreases, and accuracy improves
 Introspection: The verbal reports
 Contrast faces wiggled to coactivation,
too.
 The snake wiggle is a dynamic signature
of holistic perception
