Note. Stimulus and results by Schulz and Sanocki (2002) (a) Ambiguous stimulus used <strong>in</strong> second pilot experiment. A<br />

central pushbutton groups with pushbutton on left by global color similarity and with pushbutton on right by local<br />

connectedness. (b) Results for second pilot experiment. Graph shows number <strong>of</strong> participants who grouped<br />

predom<strong>in</strong>antly by color similarity, connectedness, or mixed properties by exposure duration.<br />

<strong>The</strong> second pilot experiment was conducted with <strong>the</strong> modified stimuli. This<br />

second pilot experiment revealed a trend similar to <strong>the</strong> first pilot experiment, as seen <strong>in</strong><br />

Figure 20B. Participants began by group<strong>in</strong>g predom<strong>in</strong>antly by global Gestalt properties<br />

(color) <strong>in</strong> short stimulus durations. However, at longer durations, participants grouped by<br />

a mixture <strong>of</strong> global (color) and local (connectedness) properties.<br />

<strong>The</strong> first and second pilot experiments each showed a moderate global to local<br />

group<strong>in</strong>g effect as exposure time <strong>in</strong>creased. Upon review <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se results, Schulz and<br />
