Greeble (psychology)

In psychology we mean by a Greeble (that; plural: Greebles ) a most carefully designed by three-dimensional computer graphics appearing object that serves as a visual stimulus in the cognitive psychological research on object and face perception.

First use

The first Greebles were designed at Yale University by Scott Yu under the direction of Michael J. Tarr and Isabel Gauthier. Isabel Gauthier she used in her dissertation and their description Vision Research has been published for the first time in 1997 in the journal. The name comes from the Greebles psychologist Robert Abelson.

Cognitive Psychology

A greeble represents, for example, a limited in its capabilities face similar object represents: Less noticeable facial attributes, but in a common base configuration. Simply put, a Greeble looks kinda like a face, but in no way a real face dar. This makes it difficult to attribute the Greeble on the basis of the presence of a single property, and that this circumstance should the subjects in cognitive psychological experiments to bring to perceive all the qualities of a greebles in relation to each other and to use them for a possible group assignment. Greebles be so - as well as real faces - konfigural perceived, ie not only perception of the individual components, but perception of the totality of all components and their relationship to each other.

Greebles can be designed for special testing arrangements. The ( symmetric and asymmetric ) originals of Yu are available on the website of Michael Tarr.
