Description

In psychological experiments,stimuli of the preceding trials may sometimes give influence to the responses in the following trials. Usually it is treated as a carry-over effect which should be cancelled by the counter-balancing technique. Among such phenomena,however,there are cases which may be related to a psychological important function. The present research demonstrates some prominent cases starting from a strong persistence which we encountered in a motion perception research(Chida and Yoshimura,2007). We also demonstrate another example in the motion perceptual phenomenon that the correspondence of two-point apparent movements do not obey the low of proximity which is one of the principal Gestalt rules,but that it is controlled by the perception in the preceding trials. We collect other examples from the domain of memory and thought,and insist that the persistence property covers widely over the human cognitive processes. We discuss that these cognitive persistence should be strongly related to the Irvin Rock's 'description' which is typically referred to the naming or labeling effect.
