In <strong>the</strong> present study, participants were presented with stimuli, displayed on a<br />

computer monitor, <strong>in</strong> which a central pushbutton was ambiguous as to how it could be<br />

grouped with <strong>the</strong> pushbutton to its immediate right and left side. <strong>The</strong> central pushbutton<br />

could group with <strong>the</strong> pushbutton on one side <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> display by a global Gestalt pr<strong>in</strong>ciple<br />

and with <strong>the</strong> pushbutton on <strong>the</strong> oppos<strong>in</strong>g side <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> display by a local Gestalt pr<strong>in</strong>ciple.<br />

In Figure 22A, for example, <strong>the</strong> central pushbutton groups by common region with <strong>the</strong><br />

pushbutton on <strong>the</strong> left side and groups by connectedness with <strong>the</strong> pushbutton on <strong>the</strong> right<br />

side. Common region is depicted as be<strong>in</strong>g global <strong>in</strong> size scale when compared to<br />

connectedness.<br />

Note. (a) Example experimental prime. Central pushbutton groups by common region with pushbuttons on <strong>the</strong> left and<br />

by connectedness with pushbuttons on <strong>the</strong> right. In this display, common region is global relative to connectedness. (b)<br />

Example experimental prime. Central pushbutton groups by common region with <strong>the</strong> pushbuttons on <strong>the</strong> left and by<br />

connectedness with pushbuttons on <strong>the</strong> right. (c) Example neutral prime. Central pushbutton does not group with <strong>the</strong><br />

pushbuttons on <strong>the</strong> left or right hand side <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> display.<br />
